Show me
When
I must be sad, lonely
Not happy
Tell me if I’ve made
A mistake
Took for granted a kind gesture
A sweet refrain
For
If I have
If I’ve been callous, miserable
unforgiving
Then let me know
Let me see
A better way
And
Be a happy, giving
Carefree person
Who loves with no mistakes.

Feeling the heart pound
Listen
Listen to that sound.
Life is given, taken away
Only the heart moving
Signifies life breathes
We live
We live today.

No way
Can I see the falling leaves
Leaving anything but beauty
All around me .
No way
Will I be alone for all eternity
For you’ll be there
Beside of me.
No way
Can I hear
The footsteps in the fall
Walk away from all
I love.
No way
I’ll let it be
Nothing but love, beauty
Surrounding me
Now and all eternity.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
I’m holding on, holding tight
To all that I love
Now and throughout
The dark, dark dangerous night.
Let no one feel
Once more, ever again
The awful feelings I felt
Way back then.
Let them be good, be great
Let them give me safety
Solace.
Let me
Radiate
Kindness and love.
Let me take all of this with me
As I move through life
The coming year, the day
The dark, dark dangerous night.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Help me hear the voices say
Wondrous words
Spoke in love and kindness
Now and everyday.

Feeling all the love
Feeling
It all the time
Nestled deep in my heart
Beating love
With
Each stroke of time
In rhythm, in rhyme.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
Heal me
Help me be the one
Who I can revere
Smile, laugh at
From now to eternity
Let my emotions
Flow with cheer
Keep a smile upon my face
Even in times
That are so hard, so severe
I must not
Believe in trouble or hardship
See, be the light
That guides lost souls to their own
Lofty atmosphere.
– Be the one you want another to be –
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
No one sees
All those things
Things of beauty
And
Disgusting things
They are kept
Well within
Inside of each
Brought forth
Out
Only to review
And
To teach.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
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.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
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.
