As If I Didn'T Know Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I had a 'crusader' of a certain faith,
Say to me one day.
I needed to pray to find my savior.

And I did not give a quick response.
Since with some people,
They will go on and on with that which they 'believe'.
Because some people like these,
Will not accept.
If it was not for a faith known and kept,
Those obstacles shown and met to eliminate.
Would not have strengthened my steps to walk away,
Giving the utmost respect to leave.
To those who assume,
My happiness was received without first crawling.
On hands and bleeding knees!

As if I did not know,
From where my blessings flow.
And not a judgement from observations do I pass.
