A solitary fire fighter stands amidst the rubble and smoke in New York City. Days after a Sep. 11 terrorist attack, fires still burn at the site of the World Trade Center. U.S. Navy Photo by Photographer’s Mate 2nd Class Jim Watson. (RELEASED)
9/11 will be seen As a time of horror Heartache And oh, such bravery When 9/11 angels were sent to heaven Too much hate No saving.
Buildings will dissipate But lives lost or ruined Will be remembered Then, now and for decades The reason lost on most, everyone Not known why Most of all by those who died Really, not understood by anyone.
Life should not be deemed cheap All life is sacred, revered That is my belief Say a prayer, pray for those Who lost their lives And those Who were the reason.
For if we all can see We must live together Work together, love together In peace and tranquillity Then it will be ours forever It will forever Be. ~ Patrice

Nobody to take
No one to answer too
Nothing to be angry
Or grateful for
Too.
Speaking lightly
Smiling as I need too
Never responding to
Anything hateful, cruel
Or nothing I needn’t
Too.
I am moving to
The very edge of the world
I’m where
Where I need to be
Too.

Total help
Is on the way
No need to call upon
Yesterday.
Today
Will be suffice
Guiding you though
All obstacles
Standing firm, no cat calls.
So, just relax
Enjoy the time
It will all be unfolding
In rhythm
And in perfect rhyme.

When I hear your voice
My being melts and does rejoice
Heaven, earth move a little closer
When I hear your voice.
When I hear your voice
No sudden happening
Is either sad or profound
When I hear your voice
I’m settled, I’m calmed down.
When I hear your voice
No heart is moved as much
No success can mean as much
As the sound of my world slowing down
When I hear your voice.
When I hear your voice
Feeling joy all around
When I hear
Hear your voice creating love
With it’s singing, wondrous sound.~ Patrice

Cold is my heart
As I face the darkness
Brooding there
In the deep bottomless dark.
No remorse comes
To save me
No salvation
Takes my heart.
Just cold anger
Seething
Storming in my mind
Waiting to rip apart.
Anything
That dare face me
Stand and challenge
This coldness in my heart.

More than enough
Has come to mind
Now
Deep breath in
Long breath out
Stand firm
Look around
Know what’s coming
Coming about.

I wonder
What it is all about
I wonder
What will come about.
My heart is full
My eyes do see
Wonders
In every crack and cranny.

When things calm down and all is quiet
The heart stirs with memories, feelings disquiet.
Hard to conceive what has happened
Hard to believe it is now reality.
Chest heaves, tears fall crying
In a crushing rain no one can believe.
Neither can anyone console
Or take this burdened load from you or me.
Yes, when all things are calm and the world seems quiet
The head, the heart are left feeling painfully disquiet.~ Patrice

Hope is all I have
To get me through the day.
Hope that all the bad
Will disappear like yesterday.
Hope I have the strength
To stand tall and say
I am good
I am the best
I am all I need
I will leave the rest.
~ Patrice

Holding all in my hands
Feeling your strength and power
At my command.
Journey long, journey far
See the beauty
In a single rising star.
