Analysis of Removing Of Doubt
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Not a dream to wish,
Comes true without devoting...
Patience and time done to sacrifice,
Facing obstacles.
And a way to eliminate challenges.
With kept to keep faith,
That one's path to take...
Does not erase the dream.
Because of fear.
A fear that appears in one's mind.
But a dream to want,
With applied effort to endeavor it...
Will eventually come true.
To believe it seen to touch and feel,
One's dream too real.
Forgetting about the time it took,
Sacrificing what it takes...
To make something from nothing,
Real to feel.
And touch a belief,
A removing of doubting made possible.
'Your love to have,
Has to be extremely strong.'
'Oh?
And why do you say that?
Didn't I tell you,
I loved what I did.
And what I did to do,
Will be believed.'
'But, I have to admit,
This love of yours I did not see it!'
'And now you do.
Revealed with evidence and proof of it.
When I love it is strong.
As if to me,
Belongs already accomplished.
Before.
And a long time to have it after!'
'You are definitely committed!'
'Isn't that what having a love is about?'
