Let us be
The people and friends
We should be.
Forget the theatrics
forget the greed
Just be
And I’ll be me.

Make it simple. Make it sweet. Make it mine and it can’t be beat. ~ Patrice

Faze the feelings cope and see
Journey harrowing not to be.
Steady, steadfast stand your ground
Bend to no one let them sound
All their misery way back down.
People cope, people be
The best they can
In spite of a misguided destiny.

Maybe it seems
The world has forsaken thee.
No fear
For you are a token be
Of a strong hard love
Meant to be
The one true person
Only you
Were born to be.

Don’t see the world in black and white.
Make it the colour of delight.
Make it pink.

Blessed we be
Blessed we’re not
Hold on or you may
Lose that thought.
Brilliant yes
Certainly bold
Smile a lot never frown
The world is here
And it is round.
See the gleam on
A sharp edged sword
Slicing hatred
And spreading love
We’ve been told.
With the Lord
Blessed we be
And certainly not
All alone in
This our sacred lot.

Small and quiet
Liberal and free
I’d like to think
This is me.
Smile a lot
Exercise and be
Part of the world
That likes to be me.
No one can do things
Just like me
So celebrate, rejoice
In being me.

Anger is nowhere.
See it for what it is.
Put it in a box and send it somewhere.
Somewhere far out in space
where it can’t hurt anyone, anymore.

Your book will be written
Your poems submitted
And your art will soar.
Smile, laugh
This is your time
To roar.
