Wishing all Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas! 😀
When I heard you
Calling me
My heart stopped
It skipped a beat.
Tell me why
I can be alone
Lost without you
Near me.
You make me whole
A life to love
With arms wrapped
Around my soul.
Your heart, my heart
Filled with love
Together always
In everlasting love.

Snow flies
And we answer
Why? Why?
Blizzards blow fierce white
Changing darkness
Into a brilliant seeing night.
Cold with icicles
Dripping down
Covering a frigid, frozen ground.
Rivers run underneath
A covering of ice and snow
Sometimes more than a foot deep.
We live thru this
We
We do exist.

Things happen
I don’t know why
Placing me in places
Sometimes sad
Sometimes I even cry.
Then the heavens open up
Raining down
Blessings warm and bountiful
Covering everything
Everything all around.

Thoughts and memories
Come into my head
Some beautiful
Some filled with dread.
I think of them and then
Let those memories go
Back to the place where
All memories need to go.
There to stay til drawn again
To the front of my mind
To relive and live
Those memories one moe time
One moe time again.

Hold your hand
Lead
Guide you on your way
The path may be difficult
But you have me beside you
All the way.
See no tragedy
Feel no anger
Taking you on the wrong path
Far, far away
Know I’m here with you
I’ll never leave your side.
And tomorrow
I know
You too, will be here
Next to me
Guiding me on my way
At my side.

No holes barred
No tales told
Until the end has come, gone
Did unfold.
When did it happen
Where did it occur?
No one knows
But
It did happen
It did occur.
~ Patrice
Fortunately for me
Life
Brings changes
Things
I need to see, to be
Fortunately for me.

Then I heard the calling voice say
Believe in yourself, believe today
Believing is the only way.

Catch me if you can
I’m falling deep down
That
Hurtful canyon
Hold my hand
Grasp it tight
Don’t like let go
Till all that’s out of sight
Then
Together we will go
You holding me
Me, so grateful.

I heard the wild goose call
I heard her plaintive tone.
I bowed my head in honour
Of all those left
Left alone.
On the field of war and anger
In the battle
No one wins alone.
I heard the wild goose call
Come
Come bring your brave soldiers home.
