I Didn’t Draw, I Wouldn’t Paint

Safe and Strong ~ illustration by Patrice

I didn’t draw, I wouldn’t paint
Little love, lots of hate
Time stood still
And seemed to crawl
No one knew
What could or would be all.

Focused on the wrong thing then
Didn’t know what was up
Or around the bend.
Hardship was a constant friend
Little laughter to ease my way
Just disaster each turn I made.

Then they came and held me up
Turned me round to see the light
Not just of love
But a grandeur life
Stroked my soul, made things right
This they did for me one night.

They stood behind, smiled and laughed
No judgement made in this my craft
What took so long?
You might ask
But only those who know
Can answer that.

To Cry Is Human

October 7, 2016

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

To cry is human.
It shows you care.

To laugh is human.
It shows you have joy.

To anger is human.
It shows you feel.

To remember is human.
It shows you have been.

To die is human.
It shows you have lived.

Gentle Kindness Needed Everywhere

May 30, 2016

3 Rotties ~ Illustration by Patrice

Gentle kindness needed everywhere
Fill the gap with hardy laughs
Store any gain in a open sack.

That way, you’ll be above
Beyond
All that holds you back.

Laugh, laugh
Embracing and sharing gentle kindness
Feel it here at last.

My Heart Is Sore

March 19, 2016

My friend, Pat Carpenter

My heart is sore
My soul is too
I’ve lost a friend, a loved one
It was you.

So kind, so sweet
So strong, so dear
A gentle heart
I miss you being near.

No more to say
No more to hear
That laugh
That heartfelt cheer.

You had love for yours
Love of life
Blessed to know
Now gone to live with Christ.

We’ll miss you
My friend
Even thou we know you’ll walk near
We’ll see your smile, we’ll feel your cheer.

Rest in peace
My friend Pat
Pat
You are so dear.
~ Patrice

Good-bye my friend Pat

Pat Carpenter went to be with the Lord on Thursday, March 17, 2016 with her family by her side.

Wondering Why Or Did I See

June 19, 2014

Wondering why or did I see
How the heart mends
Without any seams.

Tragedy, chaos and most likely strife
Rip holes in my being
Then along comes kindness
Dipped in strength
Changing everything.

A smile, a laugh, a gentle caress
Hold me together
Thru anything.

I’m not wondering
I know, I see
With love my heart mends
Without any seams.

Sometimes

Sometimes
Sometimes I cry and don’t know why
Sometimes I laugh full of heartfelt love
Sometimes
Sometimes I know why.

One More Day To Go

April 29, 2013

One more day to go
One more day
And I’ll be away
Far, far away from
All that holds me
To this particular day.

I’ll smile and laugh
Life will just be a gas
It won’t last
But in one more day
It’ll be enough
To make me smile
For one more day.

Yes, one more day
And then I’ll be gone
Far, far away
In one more day.

Pleasure, focus let it be
The main thing
To bring you
To your destiny.

Happiness is not something
You leave outside
But accompanies you inside
Staying by you thru all
Thats going to be.

Laugh, joke
See the reason
The sun does rise
Leaving behind dark
Brooding skies.

Your choice all this be
Happiness, pleasure
Laugh and see.

What A Wonderful Dream

February 14, 2013

Fall Leaves ~ photo by Patrice

 

What a wonderful dream
I had last night
You were in it all focused
Happy and beautifully bright.

We walked
A wondrous road
As it curved pass forest
Strong with might.

You laughed
And held me tight
You held me
All thru the night.

What a wonderful dream
I had last night
I dreamed a dream of you
Last night.
~ Patrice
