Myopic
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Seldom does life hold,
For those who do not know...
Exceptions.
With blessings.
Blessings on them to bestowed.
Shown blessings.
Given to them unexpected,
Blessings.
Turning frowns upside down.
Blessings.
Wishes wanted to receive,
Not before to believe,
Blessings.
Seldom does life hold,
For those who let faith go,
Know blessings.
As an award for faith to keep kept,
Undoubted.
Or neurotic.
And left to feel psychotic.
About it.
Exceptions come to those with faith,
Undoubted.
Exceptions come to those with faith,
Undoubted.
About it.
Or be left to feel by someone else,
Focused on a vision...
Myopic.
Dropped to not know what faith is.
Myopic.
Dropped to not know what faith is!
And staying myopic.
Dropped to not to know what faith is!
And left myopic.
Myopic.
Left myopic.
As a choice of topic.
They are left myopic.
Myopic!
Myopic.
Left with limited optics.
Left with limited optics.
Left with limited optics!
