Stay

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Regardless of your circumstances.
Stay uplifted.
Inspired and motivated.
Inspite of how difficult,
For you this may be emotionally.

Remain to stay focused and disciplined.
As your incentive to see,
Changes that come to affect you...
Are not in your life to stay permanently.
With faith to use stay positive.

The mind you have is such a magical thing.
With a doing to stay away from being limited.
Dream not to be approved.
Refuse the doing of it.
To settle and choose self abusing negativity.

Be better than being made to believe,
Negativity to accept...
Is a way to life your life neglecting,
The opposite of feeling down is up.
Rise to the challenge and off your butt!

Why stay confused, deceived and unhappy.
For who does this prove has been for them,
A beneficial destination?
Done to reach achieving this goal.
Stay uplifted.

Stay positive, inspired and motivated!

Be different and know,
Your mind to use...
Is a magical thing to have.
And yours to own to refuse being limited,
To moans and groans and excuses to make.
