Your Presence Felt Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

In my eyes,
You cast light.
Not shadow.

In your mind this you must believe.
Success you have already achieved.

My heart you have touched.
In a way you have chosen.
In a way no one else knows.

Your place is there.
To lead not follow.

Never fear your achievements to be,
Second best.
You must not feel challenged by others.
Do what it is you do.
Not what you assume the rest expect.

In my eyes,
You cast light.
Not shadow.

In your mind this you must believe.
Success you have already achieved.
If you had not...
Your presence felt,
Would never bestow a glow.
