Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

A title to receive it achieved,
Doesn't leave one...
To become less effective.
Once that title is left behind.
...

Knowing when to leave,
With deeds accomplished...
To have been unexpected.
Is a better exit to take.
...

This crooked path,
From one experience to the next
Has no one to journey on it,
To know what's ahead.
...

When I first learned to walk,
On my own two feet...
Immediately appeared,
Tremendous challenges...
...

Assuming to know what it takes,
To make something from nothing
Is easy to do,
For those who have expertise...
...

A race to replace...
The meaning of love.
Its definition and purpose.
To leave it deserted.
...

Anytime one can find,
To celebrate life to appreciate
The blessing of it given,
To forgive and forget...
...

Sometimes the best road to take
Is the one not already paved.
Too many find it,
An easy way to travel.
...

It seems as if...
God chooses to select and pick,
Those who are...
The least interested,
...

An understanding to reach it,
Takes more than assuming...
A comprehension is understood.
And with a wish to keep,
...
