One Continues To Pray Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The having of 'things' and possessions to obsess,
Becomes less used an effective objective...
With one's focus primarily is on whom to impress.
Such thoughts to think seem tired and meaningless,
When a stage to age gracefully has been identified...
For one who has reached a peacefully existence.
And recognizes it as a maturity that has arrived,
Successfully...
With a doing one gets to keep.

Although hoping the feeling one can't exactly express,
Has no chance to be repossessed by stupidity.
That's why one continues to pray,
To take nothing for granted with an awakening each day...
Acknowledging God may still have unfinished tests,
Yet for one to complete.

And...
One continues to pray for those coming obstacles,
To at least be easier than the last ones...
Reminisced to have passed!
