Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

You have been a highly acclaimed person,
For a number of years.
And yet you do not appear to be on anyone's radar.
Very few people know who you are.
...

You'd like to realize your dreams.
And you seek from me and others,
'Sound' advice you wish to uncover.
...

From my hands I hold onto such a gratefulness.
I am blessed to have a mind to define my success,
In terms I can only confess...
As accepting my life as a gift.
...

The different twigs on rooted trees,
If noticed...
Expands concepts of possibilities,
If approached...
...

There are those who have chosen,
To go out of their way...
With a doing kept believed,
To pick on someone else they perceive...
...

What's meant to be kept private.
And left within walls thought protected,
By closed and locked doors...
Seems to often find its way to be whispered,
...

You can if it is wished,
Make attempts to touch this.
But through the wilderness,
And with kept faith...
...

If nothing has been ever done,
By someone who has stated...
A life they live has never been fun!
Well...
...

Limits have been reached.
Keeping secrets is so passé.
White lies are just lies.
Whether they are wrong or right,
...

It takes...
More than gifts of talents.
It takes...
Getting up from a sitting down,
...
