This Special Gift Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Remembering the past and all it's nightmares, now suddenly
realizing that they never had any power over me as I lived
my life the only way I was able.

Knowing now that all sacrifices were in naught, yet, it
doesn't matter any more in this day and age, for now I have
reasons to believe and have an unconditional love that was
never before fulfilled.

Now, it has come into my life and I have you to think for
this special gift for the future, keeping it along with your
memory and love, treasured forever in my heart, to keep me
going even when life becomes unbearable.
