Soldiers soldier
lovers love
Peace, tranquillity
come to those that soldier on
with love
Make me not
one
that believes
not in love
Make me a soldier
in that army conquering
hatred, prejudice
giving only
unconditional love.

Heaven help me
Heaven
Let me see
The things I need to do
To make my life
A glorious thing of exquisite beauty
Now
And throughout
Eternity.

In the beginning
And
The end
Life moves forward
Not waiting for
Amen
No one laughs or curses
No one needs to
For
In the beginning
We’re learning
And
At the end
We’ve done all
We need to
We’re
At the end.

Strangely enough
All is okay
All is moving forward
Taking
A deep breath in, deep sigh
Life is good
We have lasted
And
Strangely enough
Survived.

Struggling to understand
Struggling
to be fine
But can’t
can’t understand
Understand
What has happened
What
Is no longer fine
Don’t know
Don’t
understand in any way
Anyway
Anyway I can.

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.

Let the healing begin
To heal the sins
That have been done
Against the very core
Of nature’s living
Breathing
Body and soul
Let the healing
Let it begin.

Lick your wounds
Forget your ego
Dust that battered self off
While looking
To the future
See what’s best for you
Feel no regrets
Lose no sleep wondering why
What happened
Happened
Don’t go deep inside self-pity
Know this was a message
Sent
To keep you well
Moving forward
Not
Skipping a single
Beat.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2022
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
Then I heard the calling voice say
Believe in yourself, believe today
Believing is the only way.
