Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

When they did not know...
They chose to disrespect!
When they discovered for themselves,
What was real.
...

A conscious mind,
Showing up late and half dressed...
Will go much further.
Than the unconscious one,
...

Landry is my first nephew!
So proud I am...
That he has become a great man.
I am familiar with his easy smile.
...

I am always 'here'...
Like the consciousness,
Keeping me aware!
With a vision clear.
...

Silhouettes of vignettes
Selected carefully,
As one who chooses a favorite pet!
Remembering a darkened time,
...

Sitting in a nest of fulfilled wishes...
That's what I see for you!
Surrounded by all your hopes and dreams...
Each one for you has come true!
...

Much continued happiness and blessings!
May success always be welcomed
To cross your threshold.
Without hesitation.
...

They may have graduated!
And may have been declared educated...
With top grades and honorable degrees.
...

You have no idea what it is you've done.
Not a single thought of yours has come,
With an apology,
Or a 'forgive me please'...
...

Everything about you has been contaminated!
Your mind
Your body
Your.......
