Kept Ready And Prepared Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If you 'know' you are deserving...
Do not for a moment hesitate in question!
Treat yourself and forget about feelings of guilt.
If something arrives with your name on it...
Spelled correctly?
Special delivered?
Open it and rejoice in revelation.
Especially if you have kept faith in anticipation.
Never put your life on 'pause' for someone else...
When this moment comes.
Keep it flowing!
You can allow someone to take a 'sip' of your joy!
However...
Don't let them leave 'you' thirsty,
Feeling dry or parched.
Let them find their own oasis!
You KNOW you didn't wait for it to come to you!
It just happened to have come at the right time...
While you kept ready and prepared to receive it,
When it happened!
