Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Live life unafraid to make mistakes.
Mistakes made create to establish,
Lasting and unforgettable memories.
Very few who play it safe,
...

I did it done to do,
With a gift not to quit.
Or accept discouragement...
Allowed in my mind,
...

Under the most negative conditions,
No one should accept to let...
Their dreams to wish,
Be left to die.
...

Growing and knowing,
Necessary changes have come...
With them done to be made,
Isn't always planned.
...

Radiate.
Even in the silence of it,
To do alone.
With no one else around to notice,
...

I am who I am.
And from a seed planted,
In an environment...
I grew to love.
...

When grown folks who have aged,
Remain with their minds to stay...
Focused on childhood activities,
Performed decades long gone.
...

No one blessed with life to live,
Can expect it done...
Without facing the fear,
Of some kind of rejection.
...

Choose something done loved,
To master and perform...
With the ease of one,
Who has acquired expertise.
...

We've been there.
To witness conflicts.
As if to approve of them to start.
We've been aware,
...
