Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

If it is another day.
To look forward to repeat,
The same excuses made yesterday.
Then why should anyone bother to ask,
...

We all make mistakes.
Big or small.
And none erased.
To believe can be replaced.
...

This I do know,
To not know all.
From experiences to have had.
On a path done to travel alone.
...

One foot to place.
To move forward another.
Will take some to practice.
Unfamiliar with a taking of steps,
...

What point does it make,
For anyone today...
Making attempts to avoid,
The onslaught of adventures.
...

It does not matter,
Who, what or the reasons why...
Goalposts are moved,
In all fields of play.
...

Secrets kept as secrets,
To cover up a butt.
Eventually are not secrets.
But,
...

In a different place,
Some choose to go.
To feel the quietness.
And release freely anxieties.
...

Equally affordable,
As the breathing of air.
Although for some,
This process is painful.
...

To give,
Is an opportunity for anyone...
To get from another respect.
Given to accept it.
...
