Change the game
change
the way we look
the way
we play the game
Makes no difference
who sees
we hold
all
the cards
We know
the stakes
we’re going to play
to
win
We’ll change the outcome
we’ll play
the game.

Closing out
closing
down
Everything
is
at
peace
As
we watch
the sun
go
down.

You have me
you
hold and care for me
I live to be
close
near to you
You are my everything
you
make me whole
you make me come
alive
I can’t see a world
a time
without you
by
my side.

Heaven helps
heaven waits to save
comfort when you fall
when your heart sinks
and no one comes
even if you ask, you cry
you call.
Heaven stands strong
stands tall
reaching down, lifting up
saving you, giving
asking nothing back
nothing at all.

Let me feel
the sadness go
like
raindrops melting
into snow
Let me feel my heart
beat
not too fast
not
too slow
Let me know
in this world
that
brings me
sadness, heartache
caresses me
also
with gentle kindness
and
enduring love.

Something’s coming
something
new and exciting
for
you
from me
Working out the kinks
I’m working
feverishly
To bring
you
something new
Something
just
for you
With
love
from me.

There have been
regrets
in
my life
things
I’d rather
not
dwell on
Live twice
To find
joy
in those times
is
hard to accept
hard
to find
This is why
I acknowledge
they
happened
maybe cry
then
let them go
But did they
help me change
help me
grow?
You know
I just don’t
know.

The goodness in the bad
sometimes
is
hard to find
Keep looking
for it will
be
most divine.

@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
When I hear your heart beat
I know you are near
embracing
me
comforting
supporting
me
When I hear your heart beat.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2022
Let me see
what
could be
Let me see
what
was
In
between
I live
Being
the best
I can
Living, giving
all
my love.
