If I do not seek
I will not learn.
If I do not learn
I will not grow.
If I do not grow
I will not be
The kind of person
I want the world
To see.

Joyous day
Glorious time
Smile and laugh
Feel the sky
Let your legs run.
Smell flowers
And
Taste the beauty
Brought here
By the sun.

Sometimes I cry
Other times
I laugh hysterically.
Sometimes quiet
Takes over me.
How I respond
To the happenings
In my life
Is totally up to me.
Enjoy
Enjoy your life.

Peek beneath
All that covers
See things
As they really are.
Face them square
Confront and dare
All to be everything
You need.
You and me
We can be
More than anything
We dare.
So peek beneath
Accept the dream
And be the one
You really are.

Blend your mind with thoughts of reality, intertwined with dreams. ~ Patrice

Anger frustration
Darkness and fear.
They dwell here.
A moment ago
I drove them out
Back they came
Right back here.
Freedom to lose them
Freedom to be happy
Without anger, frustration
Darkness and fear.
No one to blame
No one to fear.
Muster the courage
Step out of the darkness
Step there to the place
We hold dear.
No anger, frustration
Darkness or fear.

We are here for a reason.
We live for a reason.
To find that reason is our life’s journey.

Let me be strong
Let me be me
Let me be the person
I should be.
Thankful and presence
In this my whole life
Carry on in spite
Of all strife.
I am grateful, honoured
And must try to be
The most best person
I ever could be.

Just keep it rollin’ ~ Patrice
