With A Devotion That Motivates Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Everyone wants to associate with a winner.
But few are there to support what it takes to win.
And many are often there to discourage a dream,
The winner envisions with it done alone...
With a devotion that motivates the winner's initiative.
To do to sacrifice and condone.
Often with a negativity from others shown.

'I always knew you would be successful.'

~Was this before or after,
You were made aware of it? ~

Everyone wants to associate with a winner.
But few are there to support what it takes to win.
And many are often there to discourage a dream,
The winner envisions with it done alone...
With a devotion that motivates the winner's initiative.
To do to sacrifice and condone.
Often with a negativity from others shown.

'I always knew you would be successful.'

~Was this before or after,
You were made convinced of it?
Since I do remember you telling me,
Efforts I made were entirely pointless.~

'And?
Weren't my comments made motivating?
Some people become ungrateful,
To those who 'first' initiated their inspiration.'
