The Lives We Get To Live Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Grieving to mourn,
Has its own limitations.
And those who have done it,
May find it difficult to forgive.

It takes more than spoken superlatives,
To reach a heart torn apart...
By the agony of pain.
And no one will ever comprehend what is felt,
When a suffering unpredicted comes to one and remains.

Grieving to mourn,
Has its own limitations.
And those who have done it,
May find it difficult to forgive.
Since there is nothing that prepares us to accept,
What is on our paths to be forecast...
To predict with accuracy the lives we get to live.
