What Date Are You Awaiting Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What date are you awaiting,
To appreciate your life?
What security you believe is promised...
If you elect a future that delights.

Unfortunately your hesitation,
Will not outpace what has taken place.

And what has taken place,
Is not addressing your patience at all.
In fact what you think will provide a safety net...
Is no longer there to comfort your sudden fall.

And scheduled dates you have prioritized,
Have long passed you as you stalled.

What date are you awaiting,
To appreciate your life?
What date is that you have yet to realize,
Is not there for you to call.
