Contending With Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Standing beside a pond, still and serene, quietly living it's
little purpose on earth; enjoying the solitude and serenity
of it's wonder while writing.

Living alike, each of us according to our purposes here on
earth, having life to contend with, taking time out to enter-
tain thoughts of peaceful endeavors.

Traveling on pathways of destiny, glorious and delicately
taking in it's presence as silence envelopes both the pond
and self.
