What Life Means When It's Seen To Love Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What Life Means When It's Seen To Love



Only those who've made mistakes,
Seem to know more what it takes...
To live life and comprehend,
A having of patience benefits them.

Only those who've sacrificed,
Seem to know more what it's like...
To be disciplined within,
With a letting go of what offends.

And a precious beauty,
Is noticed with a closeness that begins.
This fresh kept beauty,
Connects with a budding that doesn't end...
What life means when it's seen to love!

Only those who've made mistakes,
Seem to know more what it takes...
To live life and comprehend,
A having of patience benefits them.

And...
A precious beauty,
Is noticed with a closeness that begins.
So fresh is this kept beauty,
Connecting with a budding...
That doesn't end,
What life means when it's seen to love!

Feeding conflicts with a selfishness,
Affects us all.
To make less sense when witnessed,
Just to...
Have someone else fall.

Wishing someone fails,
Only brings to us a grief...
When it's recognized a forest,
Would not exist without its different trees.

And...
A precious beauty,
Is noticed with a closeness that begins.
So fresh is this kept beauty,
Connecting with a budding...
That doesn't end,
What life means when it's seen to love!
