Second Chance Living Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Stopping to touch a rose, it's petals feeling like velvet
as they also touch my mind, intellect interpreting these
feelings here in a poem.

Aroma filling my being with memories that take me back to
childhood and it's innocence, a vibrant and refreshing
period in my life where I learned and experienced so much.

Always standing in the midst of faith, having hope and an
energy to continue living for the time being, enjoying
every moment given to me since my death four years ago.

A wonderful experience was death, it taught me what's im-
portant in life and how to achieve it once again since
dying and coming back.

A pleasurable learning experience was had when dying, it's
peace and serenity was intense, taking hold of me even now
that I've been brought back.

Tot ally loving living life this second time around, be-
cause God is always with me and I am grateful to Him for
this second chance to live His promises.
