Spiritual Acquiescence Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Retiring late every night, staying up reading, writing,
listening to and composing music, loving this mere
poetical life that God has so graciously given to me.

Mind being wrapped in an intellectual sphere, taking me
down avenues that most people will never see or travel
down or through.

Loving the beauty of nature and humanity, taking time to
learn all I can about them, living an absolute innocence
and purity, never having lost them from childhood.

Thanking God, always looking at everything with child-
like wonder and awe, being surprised, delightfully in
every aspect.

Appreciating every moment with a spiritual acquiescence
always in this life here on earth, giving an essence
and beauty all the days of my life.
