Hoping, Not Exceeding

Hoping,
not exceeding the life 
I’ve been given 
the life I love, share  
and adore. 

Not exceeding, only hoping 
to be the best
I can in this world 
this world I share.

Gentle Eyes That Cry

– Written for Joe and Dena in hope of helping them with their loss –

Gentle eyes that cry
No more
A powerful heart beats
No more
Caressing a muzzle soft
No more
A courageous soul lost
To soar up to heaven
Not here with me
No more
How I did adore
No more
A life lived in greatness
Now
No more, no more.
~ Patrice

I Can’t Help But Feel

I can’t help but feel
The strength and power
That is real
Real inside of me
Waiting
Waiting to fill my destiny.

Bow and scrap
To its mighty weight
You will see an escape
Into life meant to be
The best for all
Especially me.

Thank you God

Thank you Lord

For giving me
Power for all I do adore
I can not help but feel
The strength, the power
In this life
I do not rent.

Make your world right.
