Remembering Loss Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Sadness penetrating my mind, remembering all the loss in
life, taking me back into those moments of grief, empti-
ness and loneliness.

Causing me to stand still, missing the people that meant
so much to me in life, somehow I've managed to continue
moving forward.

Living an existence filled with emptiness, attempting to
carry on although it's been difficult, with memories at
times, making me smile.

Just remembering the good times we had back then, knowing
now how bittersweet life is, yet living is what must be
done anyway.
