All is seen, all is glad
Be ye thankful
For all you’ve had
Can’t take it away
Nor make it bad.
Just believe in yourself
And just be glad
You’ve been given
A gift that many
Have never had.

No way should we disguise the hurt or pain. Let it see the light and be shattered, dissolved. No more to cause us harm.
~ Patrice

Tenderness is gentle. Kindly bringing us up to where we need to be. Holding us there until we can stand on our own.
~ Patrice


Our choice is theirs. We don’t have a choice. We must do as the spirit directs us. Question? Yes.
Do it in our own way and in our own time, but we must do it. Do it to survive. To exist. To be. To see the world as it should be seen. Bravely go forward. Yes, you may falter, you may fail. But without trying, you certainly will.
By trying you have a good possibility of achieving your goal, achieving that lofty height. Yes, you can do it. You were put in this world to succeed and be that great person, that distinct individual like no one else. That’s you and only you. Only me. All you have to do is to believe and take that one step forward into your future, unafraid.
~ Patrice

I feel the pain and know not what to do.
Journey, journey. Focus on the journey.
Don’t deviate.
Focus, focus on the journey.
~ Patrice


My self worth is all I have. I must nurture, love and encourage it with all my heart.
~ Patrice

Life goes on. We must be on board and ready for all that comes our way. To love and embrace it. Know that it has come for a reason. To teach or show us the way to happiness and love.
