Joyous day
Glorious time
Smile and laugh
Feel the sky
Let your legs run.
Smell flowers
And
Taste the beauty
Brought here
By the sun.

Sometimes I cry
Other times
I laugh hysterically.
Sometimes quiet
Takes over me.
How I respond
To the happenings
In my life
Is totally up to me.
Enjoy
Enjoy your life.

Blend your mind with thoughts of reality, intertwined with dreams. ~ Patrice

Anger frustration
Darkness and fear.
They dwell here.
A moment ago
I drove them out
Back they came
Right back here.
Freedom to lose them
Freedom to be happy
Without anger, frustration
Darkness and fear.
No one to blame
No one to fear.
Muster the courage
Step out of the darkness
Step there to the place
We hold dear.
No anger, frustration
Darkness or fear.

We are here for a reason.
We live for a reason.
To find that reason is our life’s journey.

We don’t need to reinvent the wheel.
Just keep it rollin’ ~ Patrice

The focus is on today
Not tomorrow
Or yesterday
But this very day.
No sway
Or deviating
To another day
No, just this day.
See it as the best this day
Remember
Focus on this day
Okay?

May life be good and prosperous. May I need nothing. ~ Patrice

This is where we are.
Look around and see the beauty
The strength.
See what you need to grow and be the person you alone can be.
Don’t fear.
You are worth it dear.

Dreams are forgotten
Never to be told
Dreams
Never to unfold.
Dreams of splendour
Happiness and fame
All to be seen
Going down the drain.
Sadness, despair
Anguish and heartache
Tear at the soul
Shattered
Fall to the floor
Never, no more.
Up from the tatters
Mended but bruised
Focused on laughter
Making that dream
Come true.
Watch as dreams
Of splendour and happiness
Unfold to be true
This too can be you.
