BEAUTIFUL

my journey thus far

                         my parents have taught me well
            to survive when they are dead and gone
and now that they are I must live my life
in a way that would make them proud of me
                          whatever work- I give it my all
I try to live in the moment and enjoy living
for I am on this earth but for a short  time
      the grave waits whispering my name
            the teachings of the nuns still heard
                           and I am proud of that each day
the teachings of God drilled into me
            giving me tranquility, kindness, and humility
      I have a gentle spirit and use my wisdom
                              and knowledge well
