One Moment At A Time Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Finding my way through this life, testing and exploring
everything in my path, hoping to discover facts and their
answers to life.

Every step of the way, writing poetry, keeping my eyes
on heaven, living spiritually within an interior universe,
taking life in stride.

Falling into it's pits of sorrow, grief, despair, loneliness,
abandonment, being forsaken by loss of loved ones continually.

Every day is a different measure of time, yet each of them
hold turmoil and suffering, sometimes joy and happiness, but
darkness ultimately fills my being with past shadows.

It's beauty and attainment keep me wishing for the joy and
happiness of the past, but taking one moment at a time,
hoping for the best and an ending of all this strife.
