Giving Lessons Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Showering life with sacrifices and suffering, giving lessons
to learn by, hoping to teach others how to have respect and
compassion in this life for people.

Not everyone learning what is being taught, causing problems
for all of humanity, bringing evil and crime into our lives,
testing our character, breaking our habits.

Making us take another look at ourselves through reflections
of mirrors being held in front of us throughout this temporary
life.

Suffering and loss taking us through steps of grief even
though we may prefer not to go there, living on edges of
another tomorrow, away from other people.
