Tell me when, tell me why
Please, before I die.
Don’t want to cry, don’t want to die
Please tell me when, please tell me why.

Tell Me When, Tell Me Why

Let Me Hear The Weather
December 8, 2014
Let me hear the weather
Falling against the sky
Let me see the moon
Not cry.
Let me feel my heart
Pounding love strong
For the one that makes
The rain soft
And the moon sigh.
Let me be the one
Where love resides
In my heart, tonight.

Death, Killed And Died
October 23, 2014
Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, was shot and killed while on honorary guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa.
Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, was killed after being struck in a hit-and-run attack in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec.
Death, killed and died
Did no wrong, we cry
We cry.
Makes no sense
Why, why
Why?
Death, death
No reason why
No sane reason why.
~ Patrice
My condolences to the family, the friends of
Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent
They served with courage and with honour. They gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Rest in the arms of God, brave soldiers
We Thank You. We Honour You

I Wonder What Was It Like
October 10, 2014
I wonder what was it like
When I was born
Did I cry right away
Or was I compelled?
Did I know what had happened
Was I frightened to be out
Of the only world I’d known
Did I even know where I was?
The answers I don’t know
No one left to tell
Gone are the memories
I may have once held.
The business of new life
Took over and I cried
Sad to be leaving
The soft, warm womb
Where my mother kept me
Safe and alive.
I may not remember
No one left to tell
But I know I was born and
With love I was held.

Don’t Know The Reason
September 11, 2014
photo by Justin Lane ~ published at nydailynews.com
Don’t know the reason
Don’t know the why
Still saddened by the outcome
Even if time has so long gone by.
Prayers for those lost
Prayers for those taken
All have paid
Such a unbelievable cost.
Don’t know the reason
Don’t know the why
Saddened by the outcome
All I do is cry, cry.
~ Patrice
My thoughts and prayers are with all victims of 9/11.

If I Need To Write
July 15, 2014
If I need to write
I will write.
If I need to cry
I will cry.
If I need to see why I pray
I’ll find why I need to.

I Wonder What Would Happen
March 21, 2014
I wonder what would happen
If my heart was not whole
But fractured in many pieces
Full of anguish holes.
Would I cry?
I wonder would I die?
Would I be no more?
Can’t help but wonder
Some more.
Or would I mend that heartache
Filling the anguish with love instead
That’s what I would do
I don’t need to wonder or dread.
Now I do wonder
What would become of you?
Would you believe
And come down this happy road
Accompanying me?

Sometimes
March 13, 2014
Sometimes
Sometimes I cry and don’t know why
Sometimes I laugh full of heartfelt love
Sometimes
Sometimes I know why.

Snow Blows A Crisp Cold White
March 12, 2014Snow blows a crisp cold white
Deafening on this spring morning night
Flying by with a unrepentive no melting cry
Once again covering all going deep down inside.
Some will die in this cold white mess
As snow hungers to hold a grip
Til no life stirs beneath its icy depth
Breeding death, anger and remorse
Snow blows, snow blows
Making life full of needless stress.

Eventually
March 6, 2014
Eventually
All will come to an end
Eventually
All the steel girders will bend
Eventually
Every season will thrive and die
Eventually
The answers you sought will make you cry
Eventually
The happiness foretold you won’t deny
Eventually
All will be all you have
Eventually.
