Innocent Qualities Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Holding onto dreams while listening to music, keeping them
fresh in this mind forever.

Childish wonder catering always to an inner curiosity,
giving my mind chances that most others do not have.

Never losing innocent qualities of childhood, keeping them
always as treasures of being.

Looking only at details that intellect sees, no matter how
old I become.

Playing with the astonishment of a child, because within
that is what I truly am.

Enjoying this life while remaining in the past of yester-
day's imagination.
