Together

May 6, 2026
Last used May 6/26

You call me
I call you
together
we will make it thru 

No holds barred
no words left unsaid
for
we’re together
for life 

It’s been said.

Solely You Are The One

Solely You Are The One ~ Photo by Patrice

Solely you are the one
solely 

What will happen
when you  
you’re all done? 

Will someone else take over? 

Will the job be gone
be done? 

I don’t have the answers
I only know
that

Solely 
solely you are the one.

Tender Is The Heart ~ Penline Drawing by Patrice

Tender is the heart
That beats
Coursing love thru all that speak
Never once demanding back
Only loving, loving
And
That is that.

Turn My Heart

April 30, 2026

Turn My Heart ~ Painting by Patrice

Turn my heart
back
to the start
back when love
was true
you loved me
I loved you 

Turn my heart
to the time
when
words were not needed
no 
not then 

Turn my heart
to
all the beauty
all
the love we knew
way back
way back then.

Shaped

Shaped ~ Illustration by Patrice

Shaped
in
such a way

Depicting the life
it wishes
to display

No subtle changes
no
great curves

Just a shape of a life
a life
lived
celebrated
in
such a wondrous way.

You Showed Me How

You Showed Me How ~ Photo by Dave Banks

You gave me life
you showed me how
to
live life
exist in a world
that
sometimes wears a scowl
You didn’t accept the mundane, the trivial
you shot for the heights
you tried, you did it 
then
you showed me how.

May

May the trees survive winter 
Blossom in the spring 
Sending forth life 
Giving all, nourishing. 

May the sun rise in the morning 
Rest asleep at night 
To come up the next morning 
Bringing warmth, love 
And fields of waving buttercup delight. 

May the seeds dropped in fall 
Spring, rise, growing tall 
Spreading roots out for nourishment 
Leaves reaching up, growing 
Til the fall. 

May the wind blow breezes 
Both strong or gentle 
And then not at all. 

May they bring on currents 
Moisture, rain to quench 
The thirst of everyone 
Everyone, everything and all. 

May, may we live 
May we live us all.

Can I Help You See?

Can I Help You See? ~ Photo by Patrice

Can I help you see? 

Can
you help me be? 

Together
we’ll march
right into history
no casualties
no one left
behind
I’ll grasp your hand
you’ll grasp mine 

That’s all we need
you’ll lead
we’ll be just fine.

I Am Grateful

April 20, 2026
I Am Grateful ~ Photo by us

I am Grateful
for
a thousand things. 

The people I know
the places I’ve been
the dogs, the cats
horses
I’ve loved
and
who carried me thru
the hard times. 

Some of which
I didn’t win. 

I love you all. 

I’m Grateful
for
those times
when the sun shone 
burst forth
giving warmth, love
not only then
but
now
as we need it. 

I am Grateful.

When To Stop, When To Go

Knowing
When to stop
When to go
Is
A feat that will
Save
Your life
Make all things
Prosper  
Everything , all things
Grow.
