An Abrupt Halt Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Children flying through their lives, playing and
running with the excitement of life.

Finding so many things to do, never losing their
curiosity throughout the hours of each day.

Being blessed with the totality of new ideas,
creating thoughts through imagination.

Feeling the beauty of nature as it touches their
soul and keeps them running all the time as a child.

Unfortunately, passages of time will bring all beauty
and excitement to an abrupt halt as they grow older.
