Presence Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Your presence in my life,
I like.
Every word from you,
To say to me spoken.
Clear for me to hear.
Has been encouraging.
More motivating that keeps,
Me inspired with incentive.

Your presence in my life,
Has been a blessing.
To know someone like you,
Cares about me.
And what it is I do.

In my prayers you stay.
Everyday as I thank God.
Knowing,
In my moments of darkness...
I can depend on that light,
So bright you have to keep...
Shining.

Your presence in my life,
Is more precious to treasure...
Than anything,
I could possible buy to satisfy...
A temporary pleasing,
Coming fast to go.
Like an impulse does.
To soon forget what it was.

I like you.
A lot!
