RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Strolling down life's pathways, noticing everything along
the way, enjoying the beauty and scents of nature, all of

Tears falling, choking life, wishing to go back in time and
...

Time marches on through life, dragging us along with the
hands of it's clock in rhythm with our inner heartbeats.

Soothing us in periods of intense grief, bringing laughter
...
