Holding on, holding close
All that I love
All that means the most
To me
Throughout.
All that is dear
No more will I let go
To lose, to discard
Oh no!
Hold on, hold close
Today, tonight
Throughout all this
My life.

May the sun shine bright
On the season
May joy and happiness
Be yours tonight.
May your heart be filled
With all things glorious
May you feel love
Tonight.

With every heart that pounds
With every soul that lives
The right will come
Bringing all things needed
To do more than just
Exist.

No you won’t
No
I’ll be in the depths
of
Merry, Happy.
You can’t change that
You won’t be a clog
in the
Merry, Happy
machinery.

Sleeping the rest of yesterday
Looking forward to tomorrow.
Giving no thought to what happens
In today.
Silly way to live
Missing everything that happens
In living life just today.

Come together
feel the pain
let it loose
to gather love
from all surrounding
loving you.
A walk alone
is never needed
hold the hand of those
that seek it
with gentle generosity
and kindness.
Together
you’ll go
to heaven before
around
and beneath us.

Feeling mixed
And
Feeling strange
Grapple with the concept
Never knowing how
The game is played.
Truthfully told
But not explained
I listen in awe of those
Who have been
And
Those who came
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2020
I don’t know why
I think the things I do
Or why sometimes
They come true.
I do know my heart
Loves the way
Nature brings beauty
To me, to you.
To live in joy, laughter
Not thinking anything
Depressing
Or blue.
That’s why
I guess
I think the things
I do.

Kindness, tenderness
All of the day
Hold it close
Don’t let it slip away.
Your heart will thank you
Your soul will say
Kindness, tenderness
All of the day
Hold it close
Don’t let it slip away.

You gave me love
I gave back to thee
Love
Love unconditionally.
