Living life, paying my dues, <br />Never committing any crimes, <br />Wanting only to find the pathways <br />To another time. <br /> <br />Saddened tears dripping slowly into <br />my heart, wrenching it in many <br />directions, as all memories are looming <br />their painful images so large. <br /> <br />Wonder shining through the tears, <br />splashing upon the poems as I write <br />them tenderly from my mind and gently <br />place them on paper.<br /><br />RoseAnn V.
