In Our Lives Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If we all just sat and wished,
For everything we believed missed
In our lives.
Much of our lives would be dismissed.
Without realizing...
So much of the experience of it,
Has been spent wishing.

With little of it adventured.

And hoping for more time,
To waste in waiting.
As a hesitation in procrastination,
Is granted a freedom we allow and protect...
With the very best of our excuses.

In our lives...
We thrive on comparisons to survive.

To be munched,
Like a bunch of clustered nuts!
Dipped.
And surrounded by delicious chocolate.
