Holding close and very tight
A life of beauty
Now
And throughout the night
Let no one come between
Let no one see anger, sarcasm
No, none of that
No
Nothing
May we laugh in joy, in ecstasy
May we live together
In
Total harmony
May life be
Just the best
So
We wouldn’t want
Anymore or anything.

Tender mercies sweet and gentle
Lead me down
The path of quietness
Overhearing no call of dread
Just
The thumping of my beating heart
Beating love
Instead.

I have found
The world is round
What is done comes back
Comes back around
So don’t make it bad
Don’t make anyone sad
Cause back
It comes back around.
Make it happy
Carefree, filled with joy
Then when it comes back
Comes back around
Your soul will know
Truly
The world is round.

You don’t know and I won’t tell
The secrets kept
That do dwell deep beneath the sky
In plain sight
But blind to the naked, uncaring eye.
See you when your heart opens up
Your eyes do speak
And your mouth remains shut
Then you’ll know
The secrets I speak about
Then we’ll laugh and dance about.

Holding on, holding tight
Throughout the dark, scary night
No remorse, no justifying
Just being there
Feeling feelings of despair
Knowing in my heart
I will survive.
In the morning once again
Come alive
Live the day in happiness
Breathe breath of gladness
Preparing for the night
Gathering round
Holding on, holding tight
This is
Has become my life.

Not asking for forgiveness
Not saying I am right
Just living life to the fullest
Able to rest, to sleep tonight.

Hidden deep inside
is
the answer
to the life I lead, I abide
Words are given no disguise
only truth spoken
only heaven knows where it’ll lead
Be open to
those words you are given
given to guide.

No I haven’t
No I haven’t been
True to myself
True to the nature of all living beings
I must in the future
Now and forever be
True to myself
And then, only then
Will I be true to everything
~ Patrice

You joke with me
We laugh till we cry
Life is good
The sun shines bright
In a blue, blue sky
Troubles do unfold
But don’t make us sad
Make us cry
For we have one another
We are strong
We will survive.
~ Patrice

Heaven lives
Inside of me
Part of you
All of what we see
Heaven is
Whatever you need it
To be
There around embracing you
Embracing me.
Heaven gives
To those that need
It’s strength, It’s love
Everything.
Let Heaven go
Let it be
Throughout our world
Loving you, loving me.
