Changed Attitudes Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Life and trees all natural, situated in the heart of a mind,
scanning the city streets, watching activities of individuals
on their way to work or home.

Playing in a mind, voices laughing, happy, looking through
the attic of memories, sifting through pictures and movies
of the past.

Remembering childhood, having lived extraordinarily, becoming
the adult I am today, so strange to know once I was a little
person, helpless, crying in a crib.

Grown now and changing perspectives, having grown into them,
replacing with methods of inner learning, brought to the
surface by a friend.

Difficult to believe how many changes have been wrought in
just a matter of months.

It is incomprehensible, it boggles the imagination when
thought about, yet it has happened, kicking and screaming the
entire time.

A reluctant student to be sure, but making sense, continued
to listen and follow advice, even though being pulled and
dragging the whole time.

There were times of anger and refusing to budge an inch, yet
caring and understanding got through to me.
