Sing The Song You Hear

January 6, 2021

Sing The Song You Hear ~ Photo by Patrice

Sing the song you hear in your head
play the tune rhyming there instead
for if you follow all those sweet words
joy will be your reward
love will accompany you wherever you may tread.

Fully In Love

January 5, 2021

Fully In Love  ~ Photo by Patrice

I know you haven’t been
Fully in love
No matter what is said
What is seen.

You smile and laugh
You offer your hand to help
But still, still part of you
Doesn’t love, doesn’t feel
Anything.

Let The World Turn

January 4, 2021

 Let The World Turn ~ Photo by Patrice

Let the world turn
resolve the problems
that really are not our concern.

Let the sky be blue not with sadness
but remembering memories not gone
not lost from me, from you.

See the earth tremble
cry in anticipation of wondrous joy to come
never seeing anything but a good outcome.

That’s what we should see when looking out
looking at the world and all the things
that will become.

Beginning a new year
A new day
Leaving all that’s bad
In yesterday.

Bringing with me
Only love and joy
Created there
In my yesterday.

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

December 23, 2020

 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.
