Hold me
don’t let me
down
let me feel
all the wonders
that
do abound.
Hold me
show me the way
guide me
down the path.
Send me
on my way
to
love
from heaven
comes.
Love
from all I loved
yesterday
and
hope
in my future
those
I love today.

Can I be
be the one
I need to be?
Can I be?
No one
answered
no one seemed to see
Then I heard
a quiet voice
say
Yes
you can
you can be.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2026
You can not
colour
you can not
be
someone
full of courtesy
if
in your heart
there beats
anger
absolute misery.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
Let me not begin
to feel
all the anger
misery
Let my eyes see
happiness, gratitude
everything
but
misery
Let my feet trod
on
hallowed ground
let not a stone
make me stumble
fall down
And
Let my hands hold
all that’s right
now, forever
even
thru the darkest night.

You gave me life
you gave me
hope
you saw the future
you strove
to make it real
the most
I saw you do this
I held on
tight
I walked behind you
I tugged a little
at
your coat
Now grown
we walk together
now
we’ve seen the fruition
of
all our planning
striving, hope
The Light
We’ll smile
that
we made it
we’ll laugh and cry
for
we are together
resting quietly
up
in the blue, blue sky.

The future is mine
as
it is yours
Let’s journey
together
Me
with mine
and
you with yours.

@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
I walk
quietly with thee
My steps are
light
my mind is free
Quietly
I walk with thee.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
I walk down the hallway
so beak, so cold
I look at the paintings
lovely and old
I hear silent moaning
shrieking
I’m told
from souls who’ve gone
to places
dark and untold
I feel anger, anguish
grief
sadness and heartache
from
those that were
old
Who once
lived
in this building
now roam
the hallways, their rooms
this
I’m told
Rooms
filled
with new victims
soon
to become
lost souls
Do not enter
this place
do not love, laugh nor cry
for they will hear you
and
take this life
you cherish
You will surely die.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
My heart does cry
my lips moan
you are lost
gone
from here
I’m
all alone
May tomorrow
bring
love’s delights
but
til that time
I’ll remember
all
you gave
throughout
this sad, long night.
