In The Near Future

May 15, 2015

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

In the near future and the past
Everything was aghast.
Not so liked but tolerated
Sad to say, that was my past.

I am aghast I let it past
Say no more and move along
My life is worth more
Than a sad, sad song.

Vince's Border terrier ~ Watercolour Art by PatriceSee you there
In that happy place
Full of joy, full of grace.
You will bow and I will chase
All the butterflies that giggle
And face the troubles
I’m trying to erase.

Maybe now it does not exist
Because I showed them
I will resist.

Be ye happy.
Be ye pleased because together
We brought them to their knees.
Here, in the near future
And most likely in the past
With absolute ease.

Great Expectations

May 1, 2015

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Brandy ~ Watercolour Art by PatriceGreat expectations, wonder aloud.
Be in possession of all that is
Bought gently here, on a cloud.
No one will ponder, question or ask
But accept the greatness
One has within them to
Accomplish the task.

Today Is The Day

April 24, 2015

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Today is the day.

Today is the combination
Of all your past days.

Making today better than yesterday
Because you know more
Than you did yesterday.

And not as much
As you’ll know tomorrow.

So, today is the day.

All Is Seen

April 17, 2015

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Love and Tenderness ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

All is seen, all is glad
Be ye thankful
For all you’ve had
Can’t take it away
Nor make it bad.

Just believe in yourself
And just be glad
You’ve been given
A gift that many
Have never had.

The Joy Of Reliving Yesterday

April 10, 2015

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Misty ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

The joy of reliving yesterday
Remembering the journey
That was begun.

No regrets to take with us
Only those already spun.

Mystical powers allowing us
To be changing always
Changing none.

We relive the past
And find the peace
That only yesterday
Could give us some.

Someone Great To Me

March 27, 2015

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

My Mom photo by Patrice
Today I remember
Someone
Great to me.

Someone
Who gave me life
And is forever
Part of me.

Someone
Who took the time
And began the task
Of making me, me.

Someone
Wise and talented
Knowing when
To be still
And when to be.

Someone
Whose life
Was not often easy
But she accepted
The task
And made it be
What it must be.

That someone
Was my mother
Someone
Always great to me.

I miss you and remember
You’ll always be
Someone
Great to me.
~ Patrice

Dawning A New Day

March 20, 2015

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Deadly night giving way
To joy of a dawning new day
Darkness swept away.

Bright, clear light
Soothing frightened spirits
Embracing tattered souls.

Raising up their kind hearts
Holding til they alone can do
Tragic loss gaining something new.

Be kind, be felt
For you in turn
Shall do.
~ Patrice

Just What Kind?

Just what kind of birds do you get at your feeder?
Mine seem a little different.

Three Years Ago Tomorrow

February 27, 2015

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

MontyThree years ago tomorrow,
Monty died today.
I Feel the sadness and the pain
Just like it was yesterday.

He stayed with us a little longer
Not for himself, but to help make us stronger,
To be able to accept that final day.
Three years ago tomorrow,
When Monty died today.

To cherish and remember
All that was good and dear.
About Monty,
who three years ago tomorrow
Died today.

The last day of February,
The 29th to be exact
Which tomorrow isn’t there
So, three years ago tomorrow,
Monty died today.
~ Patrice
