Why Did You Step On Those Toes? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

This has been brought to my attention:

Some of you have stated...
In the privacy of whispers,
Of course.
That I have a tendency,
To step on a few toes!

And I thought about this.
Knowing the intention,
Of the message I had to send.

So I prayed to God.
And asked what should I do?
Since my only desire,
Is to reflect the 'will' of God.
In complete devotion.
Not to offend Him.
Or upset undo emotions.

And I prayed and prayed.
Staying there in prayer.
Hoping to make what I've done,
More clear!

Then a voice so near and gently spoke.
Saying to me...
'My son,
I love you.
But for the life I've given to thee...
'WHY' did you step on those toes?
When you clearly could have stomped,
On the feet! '

HUH?

'On the feet, My son!
On the feet!
You know...
The whole foot?

Next time take advantage,
Of these opportunities.'


Inspired by:
My sister Mim.
And Reverand White
Springfield, Massachusetts.

'Mimmie, I thank you.
Please thank Reverand White.
U 2 funny.'

Love you,
Larry
