9/11 Angels

9/11 will be seen 
As a time of horror 
Heartache 
And oh, such bravery 
When 9/11 angels were sent to heaven 
Too much hate 
No saving. 

Buildings will dissipate 
But lives lost or ruined 
Will be remembered 
Then, now and for decades 
The reason lost on most, everyone 
Not known why 
Most of all by those who died 
Really, not understood by anyone. 

Life should not be deemed cheap 
All life is sacred, revered 
That is my belief 
Say a prayer, pray for those 
Who lost their lives 
And those 
Who were the reason. 

For if we all can see 
We must live together 
Work together, love together 
In peace and tranquillity 
Then it will be ours forever 
It will forever 
Be.

Near To Me

May 8, 2023
Near To Me ~ Photo by Jennifer Clark

I know once again
You are near to me
I feel your touch 
Your breath breathing
Quietly 

My heart pounds
My finger seek
To caress
The very essence of you
That be 

To keep
Keep you forever
Here
Near to me

A Heart Touched ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

A heart touched
By a loving paw and a wet nose
Is a heart
Forever
Forever full.

You Haven’t Been The One

You Haven't Been The One ~ Illustration by Patrice for the Educational Publisher, Ginn and Company

I know 
you haven’t been
the one
to make a difference
in my life.

That can only be
has to be
my purpose
my only purpose
forever, ever be.

Hold Me Close, Hold Me Tight ~ Photo by Patrice

Hold me close, hold me tight 
Let me be safe in your arms forever
And
Thru this dark, dark night. 

Let me see the love you give 
Feel your presence holding me 
Hear your words of wisdom 
Evermore 
Forever, into eternity.

Hear my heart call
Hear that quiet voice
Murmur words of love
Filling all with grace.

Hear my heart call
Words to ease the pain
Sounds made from
A sweet refrain.

Hear my heart call
I’m not alone
Forever with me
In all my journeys.

Hear my heart call
Listen, listen to that sound
Hear my heart
Hear my heart call.

Feeling, Remembering

March 23, 2022
Feeling, Remembering ~ Photo by Patrice

Feeling, remembering 
seeing
touching things from the past
bringing them 
to the present. 

Projecting them 
to
the future
to be part of my world
forever 
forever to be.

I Should Not Believe

December 8, 2021
I Should Not Believe ~ Cartoon by Patrice

I know
I should not believe 
That all is well 
That’s just make believe 

Time has come
To stand still 
Feel the earth move 
See reality 

Ugly, beauty 
All of it understood 
Accepting, unconditionally 

Still believing 
In the grace of God 
Forever 
I will believe.

Hold Me Close

October 19, 2021
Hold Me Close ~ Watercolour by Patrice

Hold me close 
Hold me where I can see 
All the beauty 
Enveloping
You and me. 

Never let me go 
Never let me be 
All alone
Without you close 
Near to me. 

Our hearts beat
Together 
Our lives are intertwined 
Let it be forever 
Forever til

The end of time.
