Let me be less angry
Let me be polite
Raging at the world
will not cause anything
but
hatred and spite.

Let Me Be

You Might Say
January 22, 2025
A hawk came
to my feeder
today
in hopes, I believe
to take away
a small bird
prey
you might say.
But
he flew away
elsewhere
to better hunting
I think, I’m guessing
you might say.

Nobody Knows Nor Sees
January 21, 2025
Nobody knows
nor
can they
see
the world
exactly
the same
as
me.

All You Want
January 20, 2025
You can have
all you want
everything you need
to be
that one
you were meant
to be.
But
only, only
if
you believe
in
kindness
love and sanctity.

Riley Passed Away Yesterday
January 17, 2025
Riley passed away
yesterday
his beating heart stopped
his breath ceased to be
only memories
memories that is all we have
you see.
A gentle, kind, wondrous guy
knowing, knowledgeable
a smile on his face
devoted beyond belief
this was Riley
who now has been.
He passed away, passed away
yesterday
rest in peace sweet Riley
you were loved and loved
unconditionally.
~ Patrice
~ My deepest condolences to his family and all that loved him ~

You Haven’t
January 16, 2025
You haven’t been
haven’t seen
all the beauty surrounding you
surrounding me
Still it’s there
Validating
love
unconditionality
May you
in the spring, the fall
or
the winter bare
see this beauty
See it
all around
holding you, keeping you
showing
that the world
sees you
and
it cares.

You Heard Me
January 14, 2025
You heard me
and
I heard you say
words I needed
needed
to get through
this day.
You heard me
and
I heard you say
what
I must have
to be
fulfilled, happy
as
I travel on
make
my way

Let Me
January 13, 2025
Let me
be
at peace
in
harmony
Let me
see
the grace
of
God
Let me feel
the hand
of
strength
that holds me
guides me
Let me
be
all I can
Let me.

I Saw You
January 10, 2025
I saw you
You filled my heart
My life did soar
This is all I need
I need no more.

For The Sake
January 9, 2025
For the sake of someone
you love
For the sake of the world
you live
in
Take care of everything
Be a kind, generous
gracious, living human being
killing
only misspelled words
nothing living
breathing
For the sake
of
joy
For the sake of being
Live your life with no regrets
Live it
with tender, loving
feelings.
