Emotional Roller Coaster Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Looking back, reminiscing about times in life when happiness
and joy were at the forefront of our lives, giving inspira-
tion and a reason for living.

A decidedly wonderful aspect of our years on this earth,
tantalizing, intriguing, profound, sublime, an energy
taking us through moments of being alive.

A vibrant, beautiful time of living, saturating our minds
with moments of our lives, taking us also through death,
dying, loss and grief of our loved ones.

Tears falling, having funerals, burying them, their spirits
no longer with us, hearts heavy, emotions taking us on a
roller coaster ride for long periods of time alone in our
thoughts.
