Observing Teenagers Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Observing teenagers as they gather together for organized
get-togethers at the center.

Enjoying seeing them interacting and having purposes in
life, giving them positive aspirations to set goals for
their very own futures.

Setting their minds on paths of their own desires and
passions, knowing that this will allow them to move
forward into successful careers and positive attitudes.

All of these things together, providing safe havens from
drugs, alcohol and gang activity, giving them role models
to guide and lead them in ways of doing right.

Enticing youth on this path of righteous moral and ethical
avenues will help them to become future responsible and
dependable parents and citizens themselves.
