Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Pray many do with a faithfulness claimed.
To then be chased away from it,
The moment we should keep faith treasured.
With an acknowledgement that what we have,
...

Like seeds to plant.
To hope yet not know,
How exactly they will grow.
Those who do this,
...

Easy are dreams to wish.
For them to come true.
Than it is to move,
From a sitting position.
...

The only 'rite',
One should pass expected.
Is a kept respect.
Long to last,
...

An inexperienced,
Innocent mind...
Encouraged to explore,
Emotions to have and express.
...

People search,
For that perfect look of love.
Examing from head to toe,
What it is sought to seek.
...

Forced to accept,
The facts of life.
And...
Abandoned debts owed,
...

Advice to give.
Whether solicited or not.
May be appropriate at the time,
When that advice is given.
...

Understanding takes,
Being dedicated...
To listening.
Until comprehension begins.
...

An impulse surging.
Coming too quick,
To prevent common sense...
Time to find being reasonable,
...
