I Appreciate Your Keeping Of Such Distance Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If I am not mistaken,
Wasn't it you who stated to me...
Skills I had were being wasted?
And I should concentrate with a more emphasis,
In applying my talents in fields of business.
Like banking or accounting,
With a focus on economics.
And I could count on a future of financial gains,
To remain well into my retirement.

If I am not mistaken,
Wasn't it you who stated to me...
Skills I had were being wasted?
And you without hesitation would remind me of this.
While I kept insisting with my creative persistence.
As you and your friends decided I should be distanced.
Well...
I thank you for your confidence.
And I appreciate your keeping of such distance.
