Hold me
don’t let me
down
let me feel
all the wonders
that
do abound.
Hold me
show me the way
guide me
down the path.
Send me
on my way
to
love
from heaven
comes.
Love
from all I loved
yesterday
and
hope
in my future
those
I love today.

Hold me
still
hold me close.
Let me
not
see
the sadness
I fear
the most.
Let me
hear
your words
like angels sing.
Let me
know
no harm can come
when
I hear
what your heart
does bring.
Let me
feel
your warmth
embracing me
holding
me
keeping me
from
all danger
real
and
what I do perceive.
Hold me
hold me close
I do ask
of
thee.

Hold me close
let me not see
the anger
all
the wretched happenings
Let me feel
safe
secure in your hold
let me not pass on
any nastiness
or
behold
I ask you
of
this
you so brave
and
so bold
Hold me close
tell me stories of success
generosity
and
kindness
all about to unfold.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2026
Hold me, hold me close
let me be intertwined
with your strength, your beauty
your majesty
No more
no more to need anyone
but you
Let me
feel
your generosity
Let me too
give
all I can to those
needing
Needing me
needing all
that can be given
can be.

Show me if I’m right
And even if
I’m wrong.
Let the path direct me
Where I need to be
Right or wrong.
See the skies
Hold me on the earth
So strong.
And when my days
Are finished
Carry my soul to that world
Where I belong.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2020
Taking care to be enveloped
By love felt in your gentle grasp
Smelling the sweet fragrance
In your breath
As the warmth of your embrace
Takes me to a place
So full of heaven
I never want to leave
Leave this
Your warm embrace.
Hold me til my feet do soar
High in the heavens
No tethers or strings
To keep me trapped
Only love felt in all my bones
With my lips kissed by kindness
I know I’ve found heaven
In this, our love
A love
Only we can know.

Without your heart
To hold me dear
My world would fall apart
I would surely, be in tears.

The world doesn’t wait
For what I have to say
It moves forward, spinning
Light, dark everyday.
The world doesn’t turn back
Nor stop in it’s tracks
Because I’ve fallen, fell
While traversing my path.
The world doesn’t care
If I start to cry
There are others burdened heavy
Some have died.
The world doesn’t leave me
Far behind
It holds me, helps me
Giving me all I need
To survive.

Why we do what we do
Never knew, never understood
Didn’t have a clue.
Standing here, standing there
More or less
Standing anywhere.
Keep me close, hold me far
Never say you did or didn’t
Do that.
Why not come, why not go
All is strange, but then
Who’s to know?

Tender mercies envelop me
Hold me still, holding me.
The solace I need
Comforting, showing me.
Suffice to say I feel comforted
Safe, in the arms of mercy.
