Doing More
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Many could do more.
And many would want to do it too.
With less aggrevating agitation.
Whenever those boo.
When one does all they can do.
To rush and not hesitate.
Hoping their contributions...
Are shown some appreciation.
Many wish and want,
To do more for others than themselves.
And among the few they are these days.
Depended upon yet taken for granted.
And thought to be out,
For attention to get.
Until that day comes and it becomes realized,
That those who expect more from others,
Sit back and complain...
About who does what to do,
Is less then they expect.
When more can be done to at least,
Attempt to meet their expectations!
And people like that,
Not only do less for themselves.
With a proving more of that to do!
