Love Life To Live As Is Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

For as long as life is given,
Be the receiver who is appreciative of it.
Cloudy skies do not last forever..
Nor do storms that jolt with bolts of lightning.
To forget a shock that frightens to pass.

Only those who grow through changes,
Seem to eventually adjust to them.
With an ease of forgiveness to others given,
As a mind mends to heal.
And this is revealed as time moves on.
Leaving yesterday an experience to reminisce,
Although it has gone.

For as long as life is given,
Be the receiver who is appreciative of it.
Cloudy skies do not last forever..
Nor do storms that jolt with bolts of lightning,
Strike to sting with a doing to last...
To love life to live as is to accept as a blessing.
