The Best Of Tests Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

One wishes with hopes for those dreams to come true.
Most of us do.
One prays with a faith in a doing believed not to undo.
No matter what it is one has to go through.

One seeks to validate those teachings to us taught.
To validate to us that which is brought.
And disappointment one refuses to receive.
It is not a concept within our minds to conceive.

Since disappointment is not perceived,
As a lesson to achieve.
Or mistakes made that leads,
To accomplishing one's success.

And yet...
When reflecting upon mistakes made,
One realizes them to be the best of tests.
Although at first regretted.
