Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When my life one day has gone
And the breath I breathe
From me moves on...
I wonder if you'll want me near?
...

It has been hindered by you.
Splintered.
And the spirits are here to mend.
Everything about it will be tossed on its end.
...

Choosing to walk on the right path,
Is going to have its obstacles.
Temptations will be there to tease,
With attempts to weaken.
...

Unprepared and unsuspected changes
In evolution comes.
Mother Nature is providing a solution...
To bridge and together snap,
...

I have accepted your comments made to me,
That I live in my own world.
And I've learned not to argue but agree.
However...
...

Each day to be witnessed,
There are those who make attempts...
With their efforts to do the right thing.
And with a doing not to expect,
...

Soon!
So soon to come to stun,
Even those who had believed...
Themselves awakened and relieved,
...

Mellowed in a way no one would guess...
That stress, conflicts and disappointments met.
And beating unflavorable odds,
To squash surmounting tests.
...

Another new year approaches.
With it understood,
The same trite expressions...
Will remain the same.
...

...I want to tell him I'm feeling like that!
'Cause he's my brother.
I want to tell him I'm feeling like that,
...
