Lawrence S. Pertillar Poems

Isn't the feeling fantastic,
When a past that has been lived...
Can be reminisced without regrets.
And every step forward has made a difference,
...

Try not to take those wrong steps,
You find catches you out of breath.
...

Maybe it's not ready for you to get yet!
Like a wishing for Spring and through Summer you've slept.
And maybe it's not ready for you to get quite yet!
'Cause if it was in your mind it'd be there to be kept.
...

So you've stumbled.
To crawl on your knees.
With a doing to stand tall.
Now all you have to do is to move your feet.
...

With a doing,
Pursuing...
An understanding that's meant.
And with a doing,
...

Those who don't get it wont.
Pick up 'your' blessings.
Those who wont just don't.
Pick up 'their' blessings.
...

Noticeable it is,
For those kept abreast and conscious of it...
A known point sought when reached,
Has no return to an innocence left.
...

It stays with you,
Until it's gone.
A pride kept.
To keep strong
...

Whew!
What a relief.
I feel so much safer now.
...

No one is going to leave here,
Until a thorough investigation has been conducted.
Since no one wants to admit,
Who had the garage door closed...
...
