Deliberate Reason Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Respecting facts of life, knowing that we are all only
temporary beings set here on earth for a short time.

Each of us having a purpose and deliberate reason for
being born, finding our paths, holding hands with fate
as we go through this treasured life and it's reality
for the time we have here.

Special qualities and talents keeping our lives like
treasure chests of gold in our beings, selecting our
careers, trying to never err or stray, keeping step
with the livelihood of intellect.

Sideways, sliding at times, we have progressed sloppily
at best, instead of being steady and deliberate, focusing
and contemplating on sources of energy that bring us
forth into final pastures of peace and goodness beyond
our scope of reasoning in this world.
