Resigned To The Facts Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Spending our lives waiting for that one moment of joy and
happiness, being disappointed time after time, resigned
to the facts at this late stage in life.

Hardships, sacrifices, tension and stress will always have
the lead in our lives here on earth, nothing more, so en-
joying every moment with family and friends is all we have.

Holding onto memories of what we've had in life, giving
thoughtful consideration to them, keeping these moments
treasured, cherishing them often when alone.
