Life is
What it is
Heart full, heartless
All together
Showing us it is
Life
Life lives. ~ Patrice

Let me hear the reason
You have come to sing.
Let me hear the reason
I can’t hear anything

I am the one
Who saves my life
The one who guides me
Thru the strife.
I am the one
No need to guess
Still I know, I need not think
I’m alone
And hopelessly guideless.
I am the one
But at my side, in front of me
Has my back, my destiny
A soul so strong, so kind to me
Shows me right and that that’s wrong.
I am the one
Who chooses my each and every way
Thou I know that kind soul
Guides me all through the day.

Everything is quiet
Everything is nice
But
Everything is not ok
Everything can’t be nice
Hold the past in your arms
Embrace the future
With unprecedented charm
Then
Everything is ok
Everything is without harm
Live the present
Moving thru the past
Holding the future in a grip
That will forever last
Yes
Everything is quiet
Everything can last.

Sadness lingers giving a sad taste
Mental anguish holds memories in
Sadness’s wake.
This too will pass in future’s time
Overshadowed
By weeping and sad crying.
For now I hold my sadness near
All that’s left
Of one life so dear.

My heart aches
For the girl I use to be
Finding it hard accepting
This woman I am to be.
I was innocent then
Accepting and carefree.
What happened
To that girl?
Where could she be?
Life took a toll
Leaving her as you see.
Must accept this woman
Must be pleased
And certainly see
a beautiful person too
Just not as carefree.
Happy yes, more so now
Than ever could be.
So love this woman
Because she is me.

Difficult to remember
And difficult to see
Not the best to my heart
I struggle to become
The best that I can be.
No glory accompanies the procession
No marching band marches
Alongside of me
It’s difficult to remember
It’s difficult to believe in me.
