Two young children sit next to shoes left in front of a statue of Egerton Ryerson, who was instrumental in the design and implementation of the Indian Residential School System. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chris Young
A day to reflect a day to stay focused on tomorrow making it better than yesterday.
The hurts, wrongs and harms done in the name of a God that would not condone such tragedies in anyway.
Fill your heart with love fill your soul with remorse for the small innocent children lying dead in shallow, unmarked graves undiscovered til just yesterday.
They had done no wrong snatched from their mothers and fathers one terrible fateful day.
Send support for survivors that made it thru endured torture, harm unmitigated pain for no reason not ever, not never in those horrible years terrible days. ~ Patrice

I’ve heard the sound of the earth Rocking too and fro Even thou she doesn’t make a sound I know the earth is there I know her heart spins Round and round But still She quietly stands Stands still for me I am On solid ground. ~ Patrice

I know I haven’t been The best you’ve ever seen I’ve tried, I tried But after all the manoeuvring It hasn’t happened It hasn’t come to be.
I haven’t seen my way And settled with The acknowledgement that I’ll be the best of me The best I can The best I’ve ever been Today. ~ Patrice

Nothing to say not in any way All has been said Then left to be Easy to live with or diving down Into pure agony.
Nothing can stop all these Bad thoughts But you can replace them With something pleasant Making your face into a huge smiley.
No, nothing to say Not this morning, this evening Not today. ~ Patrice

I know you’re there I’ve felt your sweet breath upon my face, my hair your soft voice sweetly calls from somewhere, somewhere but I don’t know where your steps direct my feet they lead me in a way so discreet I can’t falter nor wander you guide me, guide me there I feel no despair you are with me where’er I go I know, I know you’re there. ~ Patrice

I look out on the earth and see things going on their way.
Birds sing, flowers bloom bees fly pollinating all they can they try.
How can I not see beauty beauty there in front of me?
Thank the Lord for you see, he has done this all this magnificence all this beauty. ~ Patrice

Feelings are hard to decipher anger, hurt, happiness or joy what are they trying to say?
Maybe tomorrow I’ll know I’ll have answers not known, understood today. ~ Patrice

A big milestone looms in my way not one to saunter to not one to bypass or ignore not today.
Strength and courage are mustered to surpass the obstacles seen today to that tremendous milestone on my path, on my way. ~ Patrice

My father passed away Passed away many years ago On this day.
Memories are all I have Thoughts of yesterday Whether happiness, laughter Or crying in a most sadden way.
My father was my saviour A man of strength I loved everyday.
He had troubles Complications like we all have As we travel thru our lives On our way.
All this he overcame Becoming a beacon of light On my darkest days. ~ Patrice

Heard them say their words with feeling Heard the tone and plaintive call.
Knew my words compared to theirs were small overall.
Understand they have the stature believe their words say it all
But I look within myself and know I still have to write those words given me I have to answer that inner call. ~ Patrice
