Taught By Example Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Resisting temptations in life, trying to keep on righteous
paths, not straying, wanting to never hurt another in any
way, keeping close to self and an interior contemplation.

Rising into another dimension where memory combines images
into visions of the future, giving lessons in love and
caring by family members that have taught by their examples.

Never letting them be marred by self-indulgence, selfish-
ness nor greed, just silently being the person I have been
shaped into by example when younger.
