Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Give up your best,
To the one you are sure will catch it.
Don't just give it up...
To anyone who 'might' fetch it!
...

A show of modesty,
From one brave to pave a way...
Is someone who has strength.
With a purpose known meant.
...

Do I believe what I cook,
Has a taste with a better flavor?
How do you expect me to respond,
To such a ridiculous question?
...

We come together,
To give our gratitude and thanks.
With a forgetting at times,
Of those who have come to go...
...

The one thing about ignorance,
That is beginning to make sense...
To those advocating their prinicples,
And beliefs with enforced implementation...
...

If one keeps a pace to face life,
With a welcoming to set new challenges...
Without seeking first to qualify fears,
It is doubtful if someone like this...
...

Think of it this way!
The time you take today,
To place judgement on anyone...
Will it make a difference?
...

I am glad I represent a generation aging.
With an acceptance to reminisce and reflect,
Upon the times I have been blessed to remember.
I am glad to be able to think with a thought process,
...

Is there for me any chance,
That in my life...
I might witness,
A world in peace.
...

It is there,
And I have it to give.
My faith! To celebrate.
...
