Continual Lesson Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Noticing people want to live without loss or grief, but
that's not how it is to be alive, for we need extremes
of life and death and all that happens in between.

Life is a continual lesson, we keep learning from every
circumstance and situation, even though at times we'd
prefer not to have to experience intense ones on earth.

Moving forward from one day to the next, knowing that's
the only way to get through any of it, coming through
sorrow and sadness, learning and growing through it so
when we die our souls will go to heaven at last.
