Grateful, Blessed And Able
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Grateful, blessed and able.
To directly express,
An ability to accept...
Obstacles faced.
On my path with kept faith.
If I did not run to be chased away.
My determination to keep that way.
Would sooner,
Leave me looking behind.
Looking up to find my time spent.
Had not been in vain.
Or seeking empathy.
From anyone not to know,
The benefits of sacrifice.
Or the wasting of time for attention to get.
All of us given breath to breathe,
Grow to realize nothing in life...
Comes with a warranty that guarantees,
Happiness to receive...
Around every corner without it to earn.
Sooner or later awaken to learn,
A feeling felt to be blessed to express...
Having a gratefulness to at least say,
THANK YOU!
In a way to admit and confess it meant!
Thank you.
Thank you.
THANK YOU!
With no exceptions to believe not true!
