Exuberance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When I feel and know it,
Only then will it exist.
A happiness felt and within me shown...
With an exuberance I can't resist.

Some wish for objects,
To shine with a light that bright.
Something to feed someone else's appetite.
But I have prayed all my life,
To express and highlight...
How wonderful my life is now.
How wonderful it is to be blessed with it.

When I feel and know it,
Only then will it exist.
A happiness felt and within me shown...
With an exuberance I can't resist.
