Bright the day that brings me light
Illuminates my path, my rights.
Stepping into brightened day
Basking in the guiding sun
Warmth of those
Whose love holds me steady
On my path, my lightened way.
No darken soul
Frightened, weakened by remorse
Feelings, wrongs done no more
My path is lit, my light is bright
Onward, upward with my guiding light.

Bright in the night
The sky illuminates my life
Clouded troubles just float by
No remorse, no cry.
Ground coming up
More so to stop
The heart of my soul
From giving up.
Not and never alone
Standing on earth
In a mist
Of heaven held love.

Nothing comes to mind
Resting easy
Gazing, looking at the sky.
No thoughts stay
They all float away
On a breeze filled with giggly feelings.
Nothing comes to mind or stays
It’s just a lighthearted, quiet day.

Cherish the one who gives you joy
Cuddle the one who sinks beneath a burdened load
Find the one whose lost the road
Be yourself where’re you go.

Can’t let the bad get in
Don’t let it twist and tear all you’ve been.
Can’t let, don’t let the bad get in.

I’ve always had that Gentle Soul
Guiding me thru tough
Tumultuous times
At my side she’d be
When no one else did care.
That Gentle Soul would reach down
Pick me up, quietly set me
On the proper path
Never asked, always there
To help guide me anywhere.
That Gentle Soul has saved my life
Guided me thru all kinds of strife
I owe so much, I must give back
Kindness to those on their own path.
That Gentle Soul has guided me
Now I must do the same for thee.

A butterfly came
To my feeder today
She fluttered and fluttered
Then flew away.
Sweet nectar she searches
And sips with a touch
No matter the flower
Sweetness a must.
A butterfly came
To my feeder today
She fluttered and fluttered
Then flew away.

Do you know the name
Of that wonderful person
The one that shared your life
Thru happiness and strife?
Always there, always
Always there to count on
Always there to turn to
In this stressful life.
No need to know the name
It will change for me or you
This person is the one
That is there whenever
You need them to be too.
I thank this person
With all my heart
As you should too
For without them in our lives
Whatever would we do?

The end of winter, Please be near. No more blizzards No more watching ‘up to their bellies’ deer. Just the soft trickle of springtime rain As it washes away winter rubbish once again. The chirp of robins hunting worms Green, green grass alongside blooming herbs. Yes, that’s what I am looking for, That’s what I need. So the end of winter, please, please, PLEASE! ~ Patrice © Patrice Clarkson – 2011
