Absorbent Lives Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Enlightened by everything in life, touching feelings
and emotions as they enter my being.

Reaching out, finding details that are illuminated
just by living and breathing.

Watching enthusiasm and excitement of others, especially
little children as they go full force with life.

Learning and experiencing their new and absorbent lives
on earth.

Being tantalized with their own curiosity as they touch,
think, sense everything around them, learning as they do.
