Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

I could feel you more.
Than I ever thought I could before.
Your scent has become unique.
I'm reminded of you when I am in crowded streets.
...

With the doing of it,
The doing of it should give you a lift.
And with the doing of it to do to get done.
With...
...

How many lovers does it take,
To know one love.
Without the heartache.
And the pain...
...

You've got me filled with helium.
And I feel your lift.
You've got me filled with helium.
And I feel uplifted.
...

It's refreshing to see discovery displayed,
For the first time in the eyes of others.
It's refreshing to see those moments,
When unexpected acceptance comes.
...

Gone are the days of Amos 'n Andy.
But the Step 'n Fetchits,
Seem to have more descendents around...
To betray with a staging,
...

A standard of life,
And the wish to keep this protected...
Has been the reason greed unchecked,
Created mounting depths...
...

With the wind it may appear,
As if I too drift.
With an aimless shifting,
Without a purpose connected meant.
...

So many want what they want,
And to get.
Yet...
When asked to give up time to others,
...

Blessed are they awakening each day,
With a gratefulness and a wishful spirit...
To do for others and with God's assistance.
And not to find time to whine or complain...
...
