Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Thank you, My Father
For all that You've done for me.
For all that you've done for me...
I thank You, My Father.
...

Give me that
You take this
Give me that
You take this
...

Come touch me, child.
My withering skin comes to me fast.
It wont be long until I'm gone...
And much I have to share,
...

You have come too far...
To surround yourself in fear.
Shackled and attacked by thoughts,
Taught by those close and near.
...

When I laugh out loud...
You can't hear me roar!
I think your actions are quite funny.
Even if I wanted...
...

Are you an illusion of my delusion?
I seem to feel you from another time!
I seem to have had you in my mind.
And here you appear as clear to me.
...

Approachable...
Liked.
Giving with care,
With an excitement that invites!
...

There is no secret
As to how things get done.
It takes initiative...
Desire
...

I often wondered,
Why it was natural!
And there it was...
The evidence!
...

Mama where are you...
When I feel your presence near?
Mama where are you?
When I hear your voice plain and clear?
...
