Discipline And Acceptance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The only escape left to face,
From a decay that persists to exist...
Is prayer, discipline and acceptance.
Hesitating in disbelief of being deceived,
To await conquerers of despair are there...
With relief to replace tears with cheers...
As those good times from the past,
Return again to reappear...
Can be counted upon,
By the same folks who made promises...
To only disappear to not hear from again.

'Doth the Sun dips to vanish quick into darkness.
To leave the dew droppings of dawn,
Misting our eyes to blemish visions of a sweetened life...
No longer on the horizon fading away without rainbows.'

The only escape left to face,
From a decay that persists to exist...
Is prayer, discipline and acceptance.
With this done on a daily basis,
To wish delusions tempting to deceive...
Will eventually be replaced,
By the facts of life to taste as is...
Interpreted as being more positive.
As choices previously made,
Become less limited to acknowledge.
