Believe

Then I heard the calling voice say

Believe in yourself, believe today
Believing is the only way.

When I Think Of What I’ve Done

November 28, 2018

Yehudi Menuhin ~ Illustration by Patrice

When I think of what I’ve done
I wonder how this could be?

I’m a mortal, no one special
But still I see this beauty
Coming from within of me.

Then I realized
That God has given me
All that I am
All that I can be.

He does this with us all
The sunset, the whispering tree
Even that nasty insect
Which bit me on my knee.

God is within us all
And I’m glorified to know
He’s forever within of me.

Seeing Another World In My Eye

November 27, 2018

Seeing another world in my eye
Looking out
upon the landscape wide
Holding all in wonder
Wondering why
I came to be in this magnificent world
I blink
Blink and can’t believe my eyes.

Why Not Understand

Why not try to understand
All the confusion swirling round
Like a crazy marching band.

Don’t know where, don’t know why
But somehow I need to cry
Release the hurt, set free the sigh.

Move beyond the crazies
Then maybe, maybe
Understand the reason why.

Let My Heart Understand

November 22, 2018

Last used Nov. 22/18

Let my heart understand
The world is open
All is at my command.

Breathe in and out
Feeling magnificence
All about.

Join the world
Bow at her feet
Knowing.

Knowing that living
In accordance to the ancient ways
Nothing is impossible

You’re already on your way.

My Dear Heart

November 21, 2018

Charles & Brandy ~ Watercolour Painting by Patrice

When I find you
My dear heart
I’ll hold you close
Never again to be apart.

The pounding rhythm
That signifies we live
Tells me just how to give.

My breath, my life away
To something special
That gives me the chance
To live each and everyday.

Nobody Thought

November 20, 2018

Last used Nov. 20/18

I’ve been thinking wonderful thoughts
Creating life of something
Nobody thought
Lived or existed before this time
Mine alone, mine, mine.

Now lives not only in my mind
But in the world
Never again to be just a thought
I’m thinking in my head
That nobody else has ever thought.

The Sky Is Falling

The sky is falling, the sky is bright 
Heaven helps us make it 
To the morning light. 

Let no one be left behind
No one treated awful or unkind 
See redemption’s path 
The tracks that lead our way.

Our souls need not pray
For we are found, we live  
We live another day.

A Robin Wings Her Way South

A robin wings her way south

Buffeting winds

That may drive her off course

Today undaunted

She stays focused on her way

Though wind, rain and snow

She goes to the place

Where the sun glows heat

And where she stays

Til its time once again

To fly north

With all her family and friends.

Once Again

November 15, 2018

Storm Clouds ~ Photo by Patrice

Why does it happen
What will stop me
From a big cry
How did I let it come to this
Once again.

When will I understand
The process doesn’t need
To harbour all this doubt
Mistrust and anger
Once again.

Now I’ll step back looking at
All that has been
Refresh my mind knowing
I can conquer this and everything
Once again.
