Tasks To Pass Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I have already seen,
With meaning and time...
To eventually digest,
Those signs appearing on my path...
Very early as if the doing of this task,
God knew and chose...
To be most difficult for me to pass.

And even though I had taken steps,
Away from sights and feelings...
To disbelieve them and not accept,
Admitting to myself with age and experiences...
Throughout my life to face,
That way to take only God has chosen...
Has made a difference for me to stay,
Direct and receptive.

I have already seen,
With meaning and time...
To eventually digest,
Those signs appearing on my path...
With tasks to pass that had been difficult.
And to have accomplished what I have done.
That my asking today of God, 'Why me? '
No longer is a thought to contemplate I allow.

'You want me to stop and look where?
Then you want me to walk over there,
And do what?
But...
Okay.'
