Now Will Come
October 30, 2014Now will come and soon will past
Memories will be what will last.
Moving in transition from has been
To that that lasts.
Now can dream, dream at last.

The Day Is Bright
October 29, 2014
The day is bright
With promise from the night
Fills my heart, my eyes
Which see a future
That’s right and mine
To honour.
Conquer those demons
Who want to take it away
Stay in the light
Let those terrors, worries float away
Vanquished by the brightness
In this, the brightest of bright days.

Save Myself, Help Myself
October 28, 2014
Save myself, help myself
Do not accept defeat
Power, strength moves mountains
Higher expectations cancel out retreat.
Now is the time to stand
Stand right on the line not looking back
Accepting the fact that I am
I am.
I am the one who has the will
The power to help and save
That person who I am
This I know, I know I am.

Sorely Saddened By My Loss
October 27, 2014
Sorely saddened by my loss
So very hard to pay this cost
Of living life with those I love
Now gone, I pay the price
For loss of them in this life.
But
I’ll gladly pay that price again
For the years of love
I’ve been given
It’s priceless even though
I know
I’ll be sad down the road.
Saddened by my loss
Is a price I’ll gladly pay
To have had you in my life
Even if for just a day.

Saddened
October 21, 2014
Saddened by what has happened
Devastated by what is done.
Moving forward with a heavy heart
Feeling as though I’m coming undone.
It will get better
The sun will shine once again.
But for now there is no light
Darkness engulfs a healing sun.

I Can See
October 18, 2014I can see her body lying there
I can see her breath move up and down
Now between life and afterlife
Her mind is slowing down
She greets the ones who’ve gone before
She smiles and wags her tail
My hand it brings her back
She knows it’s stroke she’ll feel just this once more
With silent eyes open wide her heart it beats
No more. ~ Patrice
Rest in peace dear, sweet Ursa, my little pumpkin

Dear Sweet Ursa
October 17, 2014
Dear sweet Ursa is about to pass
Her love, her life has been such a large part
Of my life, my heart.
Don’t want her to go, she can’t stay
Her body’s broken
No more run, no more play.
My heart too is broken, shattered apart
Breaking to lose
This loving, loyal little rott.
I must let her go, let her pass
Her heart, her soul shall rest at last
With those already gone, already pasted.
I love you so, so hard to let go
I must, I must but this I know
You’ll live now forever
Deep inside my heart, beside my soul.

Quandary Going On
October 16, 2014Quandary going on
What is right. What is wrong.
One step forward. Ten steps back
Don’t turn around, don’t look back.
Heart is whole, mind is clear
Take what you need and hold so dear.
No dilemma, will carry on
The way is right, you’ll hear your song.
