Tender hearts do not break
They stand their ground
So very strong
Dear
To everyone They know.
They change lives
They show kindness, love
Will grow
In places so vacant
So cold.
Tender hearts
Only
Need a chance
A chance to embrace
The lost, the hurt.
Hold them
Till they too bestow
Tender heart’s kindness
To all
All they know.

No more today, none tonight
Move on
Glow, bask in the broad daylight
Have the feelings
You need embracing you
Today, tonight.
For tomorrow will come
The sun rise
The moon move
Through glowing skies
Giving happiness, joy
All day, all night.
Your feelings
Will be
What you need
The same as tomorrow
Today, tonight
Definitely.

Home is heart, heart is home
Speak softly
Let no one feel alone
Be together
Whether near or far apart
Act according
To the followings of your heart.

How do we know
How
Can we see
Hear the right words
To guide
Our destinies?
Answers not given
Ways not seen
Does
Life itself
Obscure our path
Our destinies?

When I hear your call
My heart skips a beat
My mind thinks of all the things
I love about you
Oh, so sweet.
When you had to go away
My days were grim
My heart was sad
How
My eyes did cry.
Now again
I can hear your voice
Taste your lips and behold you
With my eyes.
My world is right
I’m loved
I’ll go thru the day
Without a sad or lonely cry.

Totally Unbelievable
Absolutely fantastic
When
Will this happen
How will it be?
Can’t wait to see
All come about
This
That’s going to happen
Happen
Just for me.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Sometimes it comes
Into focus loud and clear
No words spoken
But
Everything is understood
All is
Yes, very clear
What you do with it
Is
Up to you
Your decision to act on
Or
Follow through.

Hearing words in my head
They tell of times past
Then
Sometimes things ahead
‘Listen
Listen well’
Is what they said
‘For in telling, we give you
A chance to know
Know how to deal with
What has happened
And what is still ahead’.
~ Patrice

Only I know why
Only you can tell me
So reasons won’t
Become the only thing
I see, I know.
Going past the known
With calmness
Desperately holding on
Caring not
If it’s right
Or
If I belong.
Cause
Only I know
Only me has known
All along.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
No one goes
Nor
Do they stay
In
An atmosphere of anger
Or
Decay.
Everyone
Tries their best
Embracing
Joy
Happiness.
I’m no different
I don’t want
To be
Floundering
In
Indifference
Squalor, insecurity.
So
Let’s get together
Let’s join forces
We two – maybe three
Make
A difference.
Create
Heaven
Here on earth
Make it
A
Real majesty.
