I am the one
Who knows me best.
I am the one
I must trust to be the best.
I am the one for me to love.
I am the one
To fill my heart
With nothing but the best.
I am the one who knows.
I am the one.

On April 13/12 I wrote of Kado’s struggle with supposedly two bad teeth.
But it wasn’t a tooth problem, it was cancer in his jaw.
Kado
This writing is dedicated to you, your human dad and to gramma.
All love you dearly and miss you greatly.
Loving tender gone today
Live forever always stay
Miss you tender
Miss you ever loving tender
My love today.
You came always here by me
Loving tender
Oh so dear
No harsh bellow
No strict response
Just loving tender
Filled my heart.
You’re my journey
You’re my life
Loving tender
Is your life.
What has happened?
How can it be?
Loving tender
Part of my destiny
Gentle passage
Love abounds
When loving tender
Is all around.
Thanks for loving
Sharing
My loving heart
My loving tender
My gentle
Loving tender
Now gone forever
Forever gone apart.
~ Patrice
Bow your head
In deepest sadness
Celebrate a life so lived
Go about the world
Without
A giant life that lived.

Tender mercies follow me
Down the path
And cross the sea.
Tender mercies set me free
Of all this heartache
Anguish and hostility.
Tender mercies let me be
Happy, pleasant
Full of courtesy.
Tender mercies fill me
Full of grace, calm
And dignity.
Tender mercies now I see
Life and love
Can set me free.
Tender mercies let me be
A better person than
Even I thought I could be!

Loving heart
Gentle kindness
Living life
Full of love.
Missing you
Missing love.
Remember nothing
It’s okay
I will remember
Yesterday
Brimming kindness
Gentle love.
Know I miss you
Miss your love.
Be you happy
Gave so much
Loving kindness
Gentle love.
Remember nothing
Remember me
Remember love
For all eternity.

Blessed we be
Blessed we’re not
Hold on or you may
Lose that thought.
Brilliant yes
Certainly bold
Smile a lot never frown
The world is here
And it is round.
See the gleam on
A sharp edged sword
Slicing hatred
And spreading love
We’ve been told.
With the Lord
Blessed we be
And certainly not
All alone in
This our sacred lot.

Method of approach may be different, but we all want the same things from life.
Love and acceptance.
To feel nurturing from our mothers.
Guidance from our fathers.
Companionship, devotion, caring and love from all we love.
And hopefully, love us in return.
Some may rage. Some may quietly glide thru. Others plan and scheme.
No matter.
We all are seeking the same.
Be gentle with your fellow travellers and may they be gentle with you.

I have posted this affirmation before but in my life right now
it’s what I need to hear and keep close.

Today I am going to write the feelings I felt when hearing of my friends beloved dog’s death sentence – aggressive bone cancer.
A few weeks back I wrote of his experience of having some teeth extracted. Unfortunately, they were not cracked or decayed. His jawbone was infected with cancer and now he has only a few weeks.
We deal with death every single day
We survive to breath, not fade away
Into nothingness soul in tow
Morse dismay, sadness, heartache
Hard to bare this weight of death
Crushing, nothing spared.
Remorse loving lost
Cherished deep, deep down here
We deal with death every single day
It never ever goes away.
Heartache, sadness bitter truth
Forcing all to see despair
Brought on in innocence
No more to hide in cloak of light
Opened up with angry fight.
Tender loving stroke your fill
For tomorrow never will
Bring true happiness in this
Sad, sad land where death comes
To ones we love
That stand on guard
Dying here with no, no nothing feared.
God grant us just a chance
To spare this life
And not deal with death
This single day
Let it stay far away.
Blessed be the soul that comes
Holding love for all sadness one
Love, hurt, anger, dread crushing down
Feel no more
Be it tender heart to soar
High up where the mighty roar.

Deepest sadness, greatest love
Why did happen? What course now?
Pull together from above
Bow, bow to love
Know it all this great love.
Hallelujah he has come
Death no more to succumb
Deepest sadness, greatest love
Shown to all, here and above.
