To Fulfill My Father's Wishes Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I've done everything I was suppose to do.
And still what I've done,
Has not been acceptible to some!
Those who stood by to try...
To undo what I have overcomed,
With alibis and visious lies...
To make 'that' acceptible to themselves,
And everyone!
Have become quite surprised.
I can see it in their deceitful eyes!

But I had the courage and the heart to achieve!
Accomplishing 'with' their discouragement in tact...
What they could not and still can not believe!
And the weight I carried on a strained and painful back,
Has never been anything
God did not lift,
To make my journey He had mapped...
More determined to prevail and succeed.
Over the mounds of ignorance supplied,
To induce my failure!
Despite of the sympathy exposed,
To hide the mask of those in deep and hollowed,
Masquerades!

This mission...
Has not been about taking those kinds of trips!
To falter making excuses for it!
I have never been a quitter.
And my anger can turn into something,
I choose not to publicly display!
And God knows how stubborn I am to please Him,
In 'any' and 'every' way He knows I can...
And will to fulfill my Father's wishes!
