Go Jays Go!

November 3, 2025
3 Blue Jay Rotties

The world turns
and
it cries
the Blue Jays
lost
by one
in overtime 

They fought
their way
thru all the games
playing
strong
playing as one
all
the same 

Win
with brilliance
lose
no shame
they made it thru
to
the seventh
the last
game 

Hit with pitches
fly balls
caught
they battled
to
the end 
when
to the Dodgers
they lost 

But 

In my heart
in
my mind
you are
Number One
no matter
if
the score card
shows
a loss 

You played
with valour
power
and
strength
you are my hero
you are
the Best
darn baseball players
in
all the Game!

The sun shines bright 
Radiating, glowing
with
all it’s might. 

Let me not
be standing in the shadows
not feeling
its’ love, warmth, beauty
and
delight.

Birds Do Sing

Birds Do Sing ~ Photo by Patrice

Birds do sing
the sun does
shine
the world turns
lost
in
endless time 

The song they sing
sounds
through the valleys
echos out
to
sunny skies 

Where birds
fly
stars twinkle
and
I laugh, I cry
seeing  
with
wondrous eyes.

You Gave Me Life

You Gave Me Life ~ Photo by Patrice

You gave me life
you gave me
hope
you saw the future
you strove
to make it real
the most 

I saw you do this
I held on
tight
I walked  behind you
I tugged a little
at
your coat 

Now grown
we walk together
now
we’ve seen the fruition
of
all our planning
striving, hope 

The Light 

We’ll smile
that
we made it
we’ll laugh and cry
for
we are together
resting quietly
up
in the blue, blue sky.

Feeling The Heart

Feeling The Heart ~ Illustration by Patrice

Feeling
the heart
feeling the love
in
the midst
of
passion
I succumb
to
another’s touch
another’s
love.

  The future is mine

it is yours 

Let’s journey
together 

Me
with mine
and
you with yours.

No One Else ~ Artwork by Patrice

No one else 
no one will be just the same
cause as you may know
or can see
we’re all unique
never not the same
not the same as
you and me.

Hold Me Close

October 23, 2025
Hold Me Close ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

Hold me close
I pray you hold me tight
for
I am frightened
by
what shows
in
the morning light 

Let it not be coming
to
take me 

Let it be
just
a passing storm
that cares
nothing
absolutely nothing
about me.

Are You Treading Water

Are you treading water
waiting
to die? 

Or
diving in
with
a loud victorious cry? 

Or
swimming
to
a island paradise? 

Your choice
to
make
your choice to live
in
this time
before you die.

I Hold My Hands

October 21, 2025
I Hold My Hands ~ Photo by Patrice

I hold my hands
I close them
tight
I feel the glory
in
all their might 

They will cheer
the good, great fight
they will fall silent
in 
mourning
the world’s sad plight 

I hold my hands
thankful
they can show the world
my delight.
