Giver And Doer Of Deeds Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I admit to being spoiled.
But not of the rotten kind.
I want to achieve the doing of my best.
And yes,
I expect to receive...
An appreciation to get.

When given a task to do,
I want to prove more I can pursue.
And with a doing of that without being asked.
I have a need to please.
I have a wish to accomplish and complete,
A doing that benefits what others receive.

And I admit this without ego or a bit of conceit...
That my spoiled behavior by others perceived,
Isn't centered around my own selfish needs.
When I deliver to someone the doing of my best,
I expect them to appreciate it...
Without belief I should pass more difficult tests.

I admit to being spoiled.
But not of the rotten kind.
Since my mind is rarely on myself,
When I hope someone else finds...
My time has been devoted,
To showing I am a giver and doer of deeds.
