I’ve heard you
cry
I’ve seen you
laugh
unfortunately
maybe someday
I’ll see you
die
But
in between
we’ll live life
as best we can
we’ll give
we’ll really live
and be
content with this
our only life
we’ll have
till the end.

You call me
I hear
your name on my breath
oh such
a sweet refrain!
Tomorrow may I hear
again
your soft voice
telling me
how much love
you have
How we will always
be loving
now
forever
and
then
once again.

I awake
then I see
all the beauty
within
and
surrounding me
No stone is unturned
no soul
left behind
For we are
all here together
now
and
for all time.

Close the door
come sit beside
of
me
Tell me stories
sad or happy
make me cry with joy
or
with sadness
tragically
Come
come sit beside
of
me.

It is time
to rejoice, cheer
and
be in rhyme
with all the world
regardless
whether a tree, a river
a squirrel
or
a person so sublime.

I haven’t seen
what
you have seen
I haven’t been
what
you have been
But
Here we are
both of us together
forever
it appears, it seems
What more do we want
what
more do we need?
~ Patrice

Trusting in the Lord
trusting in me
let the things that happen
let them be
Tomorrow is another day
tomorrow will be
what the Lord wants
what I surely need.

You heard me
I know you heard me
but
didn’t say a thing
to save my day
my life
Your eyes didn’t smile
nor
did you take me
in your arms
telling me, saying words
to stop the tears
the cries
You walked away
your back to me
like
you didn’t hear
hear me cry
But
I know you heard me
I know
you heard me cry.
~ Patrice

You don’t know
and
I haven’t seen
the future
what’s to be
for you, for me.
Tomorrow we’ll know
what
the day has been
but
first we have to
live it
to know, to have seen.
