Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

That we live encouraged,
To acknowledge and grow...
Is important.
...

Through whatever pain that is there I bear,
Unshown...
I do.
Without a need to be dared.
...

Some prefer ice tea.
A Pepsi or their Coke.
Or maybe just Spring water,
To minimize their thirsts.
...

When I came to you,
I came to give my heart.
For you,
To share it.
...

Just because there are more of you in number...
Does not mean my love is any less,
Than that of yours I receive.
...

After all that has been said and done,
My feelings for you remain the same.

'Sooo...
...

Give 'yourself' the opportunity,
To see things as they are.
Investigate.
At least become more observant.
...

Yes sir...
I will keep this brief.

In your most recent press conference,
...

You need to get up and change.
And stop that complaining,
About the same 'thang'.
Yes,
...

There is an insight that can delight.
One that brings a peaceful sleep at night.

There is success achieved when one believes.
