Let me hear the wind blow
the seas be free
to journey across the ocean
to
you
to me
Let us never again be apart
we’ll be
one love
one
heart
A smile will be the same
for
you
for me
Our laugh will echo
for all eternity
and
hand-in-hand
together
we’ll be.

@ Patrice Clarkson.
You feel close to me
I feel
close to you
Together
Down thru history
we will travel
We two.

I have heard
and
know
I have to be
the sweetest person
I ever can be.
Why?
you ask
Why
this has to be?
Cause the Creator
says
this is best for the world
and
of course
little
old me.

A sentimental journey
I have taken
today
down the old path
into history’s
yesterday
Reliving things
from the past
some I wish
I didn’t remember
of
that time
yesterday
Then I hear
the call
the call I heard
too
on that day
yesterday
Telling me
I’m on a journey
I need to relive
not only
yesterday
But
today
to know where
I’ve come from
where
I travelled
To bring me
here
all the way
from
yesterday.

Sitting still
I hear
your voice
My heart
skips
a beat
my mind rejoices
You are near
you
are here
Nothing else matters
I love you
so
much
Oh
my sweet dear.

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
~ Patrice

I hear you call
I see you
fly
you don’t know
I exist
and
truthfully, neither do I
We fly through our life
we laugh, we cry
but
are we really here
are
we alive?

I am Grateful I have you
to
Show me
to
Guide me thru.

Two years ago yesterday, my friend, Patsy passed away.
She had a lifelong disability that made walking stilted and slow. But that didn’t stop her! Oh no, she walked miles for years. Even walked to town for her groceries. Sometimes someone drove her home but if they didn’t, she walked back with her groceries!!! And it’s a 20 minute drive on a good day on a dirt road with steep, STEEP hills.
As she got into her 70’s, it became more difficult for her to go far. There came a time when she could only make it to our driveway, rest and go back home.
I put this chair out for her to rest. Sometimes she’d come on in and visit before heading home.
The chair goes out each year at this time. Just in case she’s on a little walk and needs a break.
Miss you Patsy – you were a special person 💖
Holding on, holding still
waiting for the world
to explain itself
when
we ask
the question
Why?
But
that question
answered
is nothing that’ll
stop
the world turning
no it won’t
But still. . .

I don’t know
I haven’t seen
anything of consequence
nothing that
hasn’t been.
You too
have you seen
anything important
anything
that’s been?
Maybe together
maybe as one
we’ll be able to understand
understand
all that has been
all that
has been done.
