Deeds I Seed And Sow Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

We all have made our decisions.
And began taking paces,
Towards our fates.
On selected paths.

With eyes we hoped were clear.
To afford our desires,
An unregrettable pass.
Undeterred and focused.

Many wished it easy for themselves.
And followed upon a certain,
Obstacle free smooth surface.
Less bumpy of sweat and grind.
To prove those who sought to be challenged...
Would find they've been left behind.

And the ones overwhelmed,
With a process thought ridiculous...
Chose to live lives of deception and tricks.
Hoping to lick,
A system that would award them with triumph!
Quick.
To impress with appearances dressed.
And finding an acceptance,
From those addressing polished images seen.

'Be patient with yourself.
Do not look down in depression.
Or to the side for anyone else.
If your abilities merit attention...
There will be little,
From your lips you will have to mention.
Your deeds will speak,
For themselves.

Within your mind keep this repeated,
'Deeds I seed and sow...
Will speak for themselves.'

'Deeds I seed and sow...
Will speak for themselves.'

'Deeds I seed and sow...
Will speak for themselves.'

Within your mind keep this repeated.
Do not allow defeat be seated!

'Deeds I seed and sow...
Will speak for themselves.'

We all have made our decisions.
And began taking paces,
Towards our fates.
On selected paths.

With eyes we hoped were clear.
To afford our desires,
An unregrettable pass.
Undeterred and focused.

Within your mind keep this repeated.
Do not allow defeat be seated!

'Deeds I seed and sow...
Will speak for themselves.'

'Deeds I seed and sow...
Will speak for themselves.'
