Life's Reflections Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Reflections of life standing all around us,
showing the beauty of it's essence.

Feeling the thrill of smelling a rose, touching
it's thorn, pricking our finger.

Seeing red blood oozing out, bright and color-
ful, even if hurting.

Picking a fig from a back yard tree, hoping to
get some before the birds have picked it clean.

Earth filled with so many reflections, feeling
and nourishing us throughout our lives.

Holding the beauty of it's essence deep inside
where God abides in our spirituality.
