Depths Of Eternal Sadness Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Dark clouds scattered across the sky, beautiful and
enticing my mind.

Reaching into depths of eternal sadness and sorrow,
not quite touching me, but being recognized just the
same.

A look at it from afar, giving new perspectives to
discover, properties of it's essence hopefully entering
this mind.

Seeing tears gathering, awaiting memories of abandonment
and loneliness that will surely come, remembering having
to leave everyone that I had known and loved.

All eleven years of my little life, became a sad and
horrible day when having to leave my Grandparents, Aunts,
Uncles and Cousins, the only people I had ever known and
been close to.

Adults don't realize what they do to their children, it's
just another adventure in their lives, yet in the lives
of children it's something that will haunt them their
entire lifetime.

Sadness will never dissipate through the years, at sixty-
four, remembering it brings heartache and tears to my
mind and heart, my soul having been ripped apart at that
very young age.
