Oh Teddy Bear Green what have you seen?
The ups and downs, the lows, the highs.
Oh Teddy Bear Green what has become
Of the love we knew when we were young?
Oh Teddy Bear Green I held you close
You held my heart.
Oh Teddy Bear Green my secrets told
To your listening ways
Not a peep was said no trust betrayed.
Oh Teddy Bear Green
When I fell you cushioned me
When I feared you stood between.
Oh Teddy Bear Green you comforted me
When no one else seemed to care
You helped me, you’ve always been there.
Oh Teddy Bear Green have I become
The one you saw and guided me to be?
Oh Teddy Bear Green what secrets are kept
Beneath that loving Teddy Bear?
Oh Teddy Bear Green

Sadness has fallen
Upon my heart
Pouring over molten hot
No saviour can save me
Not from this sadness
That breaks my heart.

Long shadows crease the grass
Modifying bark on a watching tree
As sunlight fights
With the night all day long
Winning only in the morning bright.
Sleep at night
Feel the shadows
Creeping across the grass
Rising up
Holding darkness in it’s grasp.
Your heart is safe
Shadows will see to that.

I saw God today
He came in such a mysterious way
No bolts of lighting, no angels swayed
Just God
I saw God today.

Coldness, blizzard, freezing snow
Never ending this I know.
Have to ask will it ever end
This coldness, blizzard, freezing snow?
Where to go?
Where is warm with blazing sun?
No coldness, blizzard, freezing snow.

Let my memories resound
Falling softly to the ground
Let them lie peaceful
No crying sound.
My bad memories let them die
Leaving memories loving
Ones remembered now and forever
As my memories resound
Falling softly to the ground.

Gold and Silver reign
You have sacrificed so much
To stand on the podium
This momentous day.
Power, strength and fortitude
Along with dreams of magnitude
Made come true
The Gold and Silver reign today.
Stars in every way
You have done the work
You’ve earned the right
To hold Gold and Silver
Close to your heart tonight.
~ Patrice

– Written for Joe and Dena in hope of helping them with their loss –
Gentle eyes that cry
No more
A powerful heart beats
No more
Caressing a muzzle soft
No more
A courageous soul lost
To soar up to heaven
Not here with me
No more
How I did adore
No more
A life lived in greatness
Now
No more, no more.
~ Patrice
– Rest in peace and loving love dear Djack –
