When I think of you
I think of me too
I think of joy, happiness
And all things filled
With memories
We made happen we too.
When I think of you
I think of me
Me too.

When I Think Of You
June 16, 2016
Vacant Thought
June 15, 2016Vacant thought
Vacant lot in life
Not necessarily made totally right
By coming of night
Nor glorious morning light.
Sometimes best
To let the mind be at peace
To rest, vacant of any racing kind
Only tranquility residing
In a quiet mind,
Vacant
Of all troubling thoughts
No racing
Racing thru a night, a day, a life
A mind.

Was A Dark And Awful Night
June 14, 2016
Was a dark and awful night
When the world took my saviour away
Leaving sadness, regrets
No laughing, only crying crys
And harsh words spoke in harsh terms
Stomping thoughts crushed my saviour
Crushed my saviour’s life that night
A dark and awful, awful night.

My deepest sympathies to the families and friends of those massacred in Orlando. My thoughts and prayers are with you. ❤ ❤

Will You Write Me A Poem
June 9, 2016Will you write me a poem
Will you call my name
Will you pen my life in a sweet refrain
Will you feel my pain
Will you write a few short lines
Will you mark joy and glorious laughter
Will you tell of when it rained
Will you write me a poem
Will you call my name?

Remember When
June 8, 2016
Remember when
Life was soft
And
Then the world burst
Spewing anger.
That is when
I fell from my heart
Landing in a den of angry giants
Eating,
Crunching hapless wrens
Cried in anger, feared for death.
That is when
I saw the world
Issue out some justice
My tears were dried, my heart soothed
And
I remembered when.

Gracie, Grace
June 7, 2016
Gracie, Grace a little Boston over there
Just a game away, a toy pulled in to play
A smile across her face
No disgrace if she stole a whole blessed cake
Gracie, Grace.
Love was in every part
Of her body, her head, her heart
But those dancing feet now cease to be
Nor no more little snore next to me
Gracie, Grace.
Gracie waits quietly
For the time once again
When we’ll be together, whole forever
In Heaven’s Place
Gracie, Grace waits.
~ Patrice
My deepest sympathy Joanne, for your loss of a wonderful little girl named,
Grace Kelly.

Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali died yesterday
Such a glorious life gone
Gone yesterday.
We never met yet I know
He did so much to make my world
His world a better place to stay
Muhammad Ali died
He died yesterday.
May you soar like that butterfly
May you sting, sting just like a bee
For in my heart I see, your soul, your heart
Now rise, soar oh so gracefully
Muhammad Ali.

Life Begins Fresh And New
June 3, 2016
Life begins fresh and new
Life ends sometimes
Without love renewed.
No one knows
Why or how
Life makes my life
The way it is.
Life begins and ends
And in between
My life is lived.

The Thoughts You Think
June 2, 2016
Hallowed are the thoughts you think
Keeping you from falling
Falling deep
Within the brink.

Another Month Starts
June 1, 2016
Another month starts today
Another path lies
Focused in some way
On the dream manifesting itself
In all waking, living things.
Gently, quietly step upon the step
That brings all you want, all you need
To the self that sings
Nature’s beauty
Daring, just to dream.
