Enjoy Your Life
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Enjoy the living of your life.
With a doing to keep and prioritize,
All and any decisions you make...
Deciding that which is best,
That makes your life to live...
Without listening to others,
Who wish their dilemmas to be yours.
Until your happiness to have it,
Begins to fade and be tossed away.
By the effective interference.
Of the ones identifying,
Their unsolicited opinions.
Notice this to make it clear,
What you have earned to deserve...
Belongs to you to keep it kept near.
And...
If anything away from you goes,
Let it be known...
It will be those with their noses,
Up in your business.
With them told to disappear.
Remember...
Negativity accompanied by misery,
Comes in an assortment...
Of disguising masquerade faces.
And needs not to be around you.
Nor your peace of mind to have it.
Or the happiness you have found.
Built from scratch to have as you like it.
Know this to notice and value to treasure,
What you have is done only to share,
With others who feel the same way.
And never allow this to be confused,
By what others say you should do.
Especially if they don't know you,
Like you know yourself!
Including relatives or anybody else.
Doing their best,
To create a mess of your life.
Just to make themselves happy,
Getting to be given the power to do it!
And they will.
Leaving you to regret,
How comfortable you allowed...
To make it happen!
Enjoy your life.
Unless...
Having too much happiness,
Has been for you to discover...
Too much of a boring routine to endure,
The chore of it!
