Holy can I be
If you’re here
Guiding, directing me.
You know my heart
Breaks, falls apart
When I think of all
Whose lives
Had to depart.
May they be
With you
From now to forever
No more needing
Like me.
Cause they too
Have you
Guiding, directing them
To thee.

Holding on to memories
I shared with you
Some good, some bad
We danced in sync
In a dance of life
We had
Just we two.

Can you see
The sun shine
The bees be?
Can you see
See me?

Hiding still
holding my love
in
my arms, my hands.
Facing the strange, challenging
world
hearts intertwined
hands clasped
in
a loving grip
only
we can understand.

No more can I be
the one you trust
me to be.
No more can I say
those words you need
to hear today.
No more will I be
someone you can rely on
me to be.
No more, no more
will I be.

When I fall
you pick me up
my life is saved
My heart
also
is picked up
Safe and serene
standing straight up
I feel your presence, I feel your love
And that’s when
I race
to another
who needs me
to
pick them up.

With all that happens
the sky stays blue
the earth
a golden brown
leaves of trees
wave
in the wind
and
I
I begin to live
all over
once again.

Let me be
Not so angry
Full of fury
Let me be
Kind and generous
Only
Full of courtesy
That’s what I need
Please
Let me be.
~ Patrice

Lonely and all alone
I stand at the entrance
wondering
wondering should I go in
or
stay here
Lonely and all alone.
