Putting In Our Time Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Walking along shores of life, looking to the horizon,
dreaming of what's beyond it, placing footprints in
the sand, knowing they will be erased with the tide.

Just like the tides of life will be washed away by
death, yet throughout life picking up treasures and
memories of our years while living.

Walking along shores, picking up shells and trinkets
we find and cherish in places of recognition at home,
looking t them from time to time.

Living our individual lives on earth, putting in our
time through experiences we go through daily, waiting,
but not really thinking about it.

Our deaths will take us away from everything we have
ever known on this earth and we will never be again
seen or loved like before.
