To Erase The Ease Of Excuse Making Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There has to be somewhere,
More than one 'someone'...
With shoulders broad and bold enough,
To carry the weight of another...
Who is fit and healing,
From a spinelessness.
And has begun to strengthen,
From weaknesses digested.

There has to be someone somewhere,
Who has confessed despair.
And today stands aware,
That an acceptance of life...
Means to conquer over fear and strife.
And is there to provide comfort,
To others without complaining of obstacles faced...
On a daily basis.
And has begun to erase the ease of excuse making
