Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Direct and indirectly...
God has blessed me!
Not to have a child to have lived.
And I am today pleased with that.
...

These truths we behold,
To be self-evident!

On this day...
...

You don't sit with a wish,
That I be responsive to you...
Do you?
Those days have decayed my patience.
...

Even if you are in it to win,
Or sitting on the sidelines cheering...
Be there on top of your game!
Whether rehearsing for performance,
...

Buyer beware.
What you see,
Isn't what you always get.
That has been known.
...

If the path you walk upon,
Has been cleared of brush...
You may find your journey easier,
With less urgency to rush.
...

Finally you have found time to listen.
And I am happy that comprehension,
Has moved to the top of your list.
...

They honestly believe,
Their illnesses are projected...
Throughout the nation.
That's the kind of medication they are on!
...

How many wrongs have you known before?
How many times have you said,
No more to love.
And it was love you needed?
...

I remember those days when I stayed,
Dedicated.
But, together the fun we had,
Has long been faded.
...
