Introduced Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Whenever I walk and seek the solace craved for from somewhere
within my being, I carefully scan every bit and particle of
nature.

Listing silently to myself the myriad qualifications of life
as they exist along the way, never forgetting the caring of
a person who has reached out to grasp me in friendship.

Forgiving the very essence of all my being as it intermingles
with that of another, not interrupting the life-long process
of a beginning relationship through a human being directly
introduced by God.
