Sea Of Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

The sea of life has closed around me - engrossed me in it's deadly grasp.
In one last effort I will try to save my precious past.
Leaving behind all the memories of the years, and looking forward to tomorrow with fresh and golden tears.
Living in a place unknown, learning once again what it means to be full grown.
No longer a child, but an adult and getting on in years, I live my past in hidden tears and then go on with confidence to joy in these, my last few years of life.
