Take The Bad

August 23, 2016

Take the bad
Let it rest
Somewhere else
That is best.

Don’t dwell on it
Don’t let it control
Your head, your heart
Your very soul.
~ Patrice

We Have No Concerns

August 22, 2016

We have no concerns
That bother us, we take them in
Our stride.

Neither can hardships concern us
If we smile and know the thing is
We’re alive.
~ Patrice

Knowing When

August 18, 2016

Knowing when to go
When to stop
This is the secret to a life
Not filled with wrought.

I Remember When

August 12, 2016

Wood Violets ~ photo by Patrice

I remember when
It was bliss and happiness.
The world was mine
To chose to do
Whatever I choose to do.

No restrictions, no what ifs
Nothing to dim the mix.
Talented, optimistic
That’s what I saw.

I could do it all
Cut thru the impossible
Walk on water
Anything and everything.
Yes, I could do it all.

I smile to see
Those thoughts
That dwelt inside of me.
For life is different now
Than what I did expect.

Not so bad
For I did get
That needed in
Fulfilling my soul
Becoming
What God expects.
~ Patrice

Leaves Of Glory

August 9, 2016

Leaves of glory, stems of strife
Planning a world, living a life
Holding happy in a tight embrace
Wondering why
How we couldn’t see pleasure
In all things filled with grace.
~ Patrice

Simmering Summer

August 8, 2016

Simmering summer
Blowing away
Falling to fall
All in disarray
Maybe tomorrow
Lights will shine
Reflecting heaven
In all that’s
So sublime.
~ Patrice

Silent Message

July 27, 2016

Silent message
Quiet and discreet
Voicing everything
I just couldn’t speak.
~ Patrice

Me, Myself and I
Together we go thru life
Me, Myself and I
Conquering strife, living life
Me, Myself and I
No one knows or been told that
Me, Myself and I
Can survive anything if we stand together
Me, Myself and I
Don’t know why life is this way but
We’ll live and love in a way,
Each and everyday
So there’ll be no remorse for
Me, Myself and I.
~ Patrice
