Remembering Qualities Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Lonely, traipsing through memories of yesterday, smiling
at faces of their images and remarks at times, funny how
we remember qualities that we lived with throughout the
years.

How they are still standing out and being remembered,
time not able to erase them from our minds at all, some
days being alone with nothing but these precious thoughts
to keep us company.

Hours of thought being gathered like bouquets of life in-
to our hearts and minds, bringing a silent sense of peace
somehow, knowing that once in life we were loved and cared
for just by being who we were.

A feeling coming over us in a thoughtful mood while tears
are falling from within, nurturing our lives from these
wonderful memories that have now passed, existing only in
our minds when thinking of them.
