Know The Reason Why

June 30, 2016

Know the reason why
Don’t believe your soul
Would ever lie.

Accept its truth
Don’t deny your heart
Knows the reason why.

Never Before Did I

June 29, 2016

Never before did I
Feel the work of the Lord
Residing in everything.

Never before did I
Find a way to heal
The hurt felt when I was left
In a terrible bind.

Never before did I
See the magic a heart can do
To mend with love
Given unconditionally.

Never before did I
Be in the realm
Of a beautiful soul
Such as thee.

My Heart Is Aching

My heart is aching
I know not why
Sleeping softly
I cry
And cry.

Remorse only
Not knowing why
My heart aches
Breaking
As I cry.

The Sky Is Beauty

The sky is beauty
Flowers be
The most beautiful
Anyone could ever see.

Summers’ come
It’s weaving a warm, soft web
Enveloping all spring’s brought
From winter’s dread.

A Photo Album Large And Small

June 24, 2016

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

A photo album
Large and small
Depicts the life
We’ve had so far.

Not the heartache
Nor the scorn
Just the pleasures
To be adorned.

No master plan
Is in the works
Just something sweet
All fancied up.

A token of a lovely time
When the sun shone
And you were mine.

Can’t Help But See

June 23, 2016

Can’t help but see
The world living, unfolding
As it should be.

Can’t help but feel
The soft and gentle caring
Beneath my feet.

Can’t help but hear
A song of love
Filling each of my ears.

Can’t help but live
A life full of harmony
Can’t help but see all this, around me.

Coming to terms with who I am
Not who I’ve been.

All Day Long

June 21, 2016

Mal Pups ~ Illustration by Patrice

When I ran, played all day long
The hours were long, lasting all day long
Summer was at least a year
Warming all day, all day long.

Bees buzzed, birds sang all day long
Sweet scents on breezes waffling thru
As I played
Ran all day, all day long

When I Think Of You

June 16, 2016

My Ursa and me ~ Photo by us

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.
