Between Wants And Wishes Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

In between wants and wishes.
Decency and its significance.
Should be prioritized to stay,
Among the top 5 of one's list.

In between what is wanted to wish.
One should realize to never forget.
Negativity to anyone sent.
Has a way of returning.
Without proclaiming announcements.

And in between wants to wish them.
To pray for on knees bent.
One should keep aware,
That God is there to hear their prayers.
And decides who deserves,
Which wishes to grant.
And who it is in need of lessons to learn.
For their ungrateful thoughtlessness.
With a consciousness to believe.
That acts to display,
Disrespecting attitudes.
Should be for them dismissed.
While they are rewarded,
With expressions of gratitude.
From those verbally abused.
And more blessings from God to get.
