Have I Been Helpful

December 31, 2020

 Have I Been Helpful ~ Photo by Patrice

Have I been helpful, have I’ve been the best?

Looking back upon the year
What would I change, what would I let rest?

No time to dwell, no time for remorse

For I must move forward, look ahead
To the year yet to unfold
And
Anticipate it to be full of wonders
Yet to be told.

Holding On, Holding Tight

December 30, 2020

Holding On, Holding Tight ~ Photo by Patrice

Holding on, holding tight
Trying desperately to make it
Thru the day into night.

No one to help, no one to say
Words of wisdom
Nothing on this day.

Where will I be, what will I say
In a world where I’m on my own
For today.

Together

Together ~ Illustration by PatriceWe may not be together
but we won’t be far apart
and
together we’ll be again
when this misery does depart.

May the sun shine bright
On the season
May joy and happiness
Be yours tonight.

May your heart be filled
With all things glorious
May you feel love
Tonight.

You Haven’t Been There

 You Haven’t Been There ~ Photo by Patrice

You haven’t been there
And I haven’t seen
All the wonders
In the world
All
That has been.

But
Tomorrow we’ll go
Locked arm in arm
Down the path of wonder
Into tomorrow
Feeling
Seeing no harm.

The Path Is Varied

December 22, 2020

 The Path Is Varied ~ Photo by Patrice

The path is varied
The trail travelled a lot
My thoughts are hurried
Stepping on this path
I’ve got.

Where will it lead
On what road will I pass
people I know
Those whose friendship
And love will or won’t last.

All questions and answers
I find on this road
Travelled
Will last, last forever
Forever last.

The Telltale Signs

The telltale signs are here
And
Then they go
Hidden deep beneath
The ever flow.

I Don’t Know

Palm Tress in the Sunset ~Photo by Patrice

I don’t know
Nor will I be
Entrenched in anything
Filled with misery
I won’t call
Weep or wail
Sad words
They won’t prevail.

Marching on
Marching forward
Taking positive
Shielding my soul
From all
Nothing more
Than
A coward.

See that light
Feel it fill the sky
Warm my heart
Pour radiance
Throughout the world
Bring glad tears
Healing
To my eyes.

With Every Heart That Pounds

 With Every Heart That Pounds ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

With every heart that pounds
With every soul that lives
The right will come
Bringing all things needed
To do more than just
Exist.

You Are My Sunshine

December 16, 2020

You Are My Sunshine ~ Pen and Ink Art by Patrice

You are my sunshine
My reason for living
With every breath I take
My mind breathes you in
My thoughts go to the times
We had together
When I nestled in your embrace
The world was right
And we were not apart
But there
There together.
