Our Ends Becoming Us Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Reliving memories in moments of solitude and despair,
wondering where the time has gone and how could it be
spent so quickly.

Feelings and emotions coming to light that were thought
to have disappeared in the stress and turmoil of life,
yet they've reappeared in all their glory.

Their intensity to be relived in memories on photographic
screens in later years of life, tears filling eyes with
the love of family and friends taken by death's cold hands.

Hearts are still warm with love being felt from their pasts,
given to us now to keep their memories alive and vibrant
within us.

Even though they're saddened and filled with sorrow, they're
all we have left of our loved ones unfortunately, as we con-
tinue living our experiences of life until our ends become us.
