Meant To Adventure Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I am passionate.
Compassionate.
And seldom neither.
But often both.

My kept sentiments are strong.
And sit within me not to dismiss.
I'm not into flip-flopping.
My feelings are with me not to resist.

I can be angered by setting my sights too high.
With idealistic wishes,
I make attempts to implement.
And when denied I don't run away to hide.
I set my eyes on opportunities.
Never to give up without a try!

My kept sentiments are strong.
And sit within me not to dismiss.
I'm not into flip-flopping.
My feelings are with me not to resist.

I am passionate.
Compassionate.
And seldom neither.
But often both.

I can be angered by setting my sights too high.
With idealistic wishes,
I make attempts to implement.
And when denied I don't run away to hide.
I set my eyes on opportunities.
Never to give up without a try!

I am determined to live my life.
As it is meant to adventure, experience and explore.
And neither am I into envy or petty jealousies.
Why should I be?
That kind of life to live I have long ignored.
I don't sit to seek breath to breathe.
Or my wishes and dreams to be accepted.
I have already approved the doing of it.
AND with only God's assistance.
The CREATOR of ALL of 'this' which exists!
