Softly Whispering Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Saddened voices of memories whispering softly, not wanting
to upset this heavy heart with sorrow they are imparting.

Quietly, tears start appearing in blue eyes, hearing voices,
remembering the past, now feeling their bittersweet reminders.

Wanting to reach out and touch images of loved ones, not able
to reach them any longer.

Sorrow dripping from their photographic images, wanting to be
held once again also.

Both sides not able to regain reality of life now past, leav-
ing only bittersweet memories for us to grasp.

Cherishing and treasuring them, holding onto each one through-
out our lives on earth.
