I Hold You Close

I hold you close 
I keep you
tight to my chest 
No one will come
between our love 
you are the one 
the best. 

Our love will live 
into tomorrow 
all the days ahead 
for you are my love 
the one I live for 
long for 
forgetting all the rest.

Hope

Hope is all I have
To get me through the day.

Hope that all the bad
Will disappear like yesterday.

Hope I have the strength
To stand tall and say

I am good
I am the best
I am all I need
I will leave the rest.

A Happy Birthday Wish!

A Happy Birthday Wish!

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve known you since
I don’t know when
The best there is
Not only cause
You’re more than
Just my friend
You’re my lover
My heart and a lot more
I can’t begin

Suffice to say…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
~ Patrice

Temporary, That’s What They Say

Temporary, that’s what they say
Lasting longer, not happening
No way, no way.

Savour while it lasts
Then go about
Go about your day.

Knowing the best has come
Has visited you
Visited you and stayed.

Just a little while
A little while
Today.

Let It Rest

Skirt the issue
Let it rest
That would be best
For now.

Don’t know where
It’s going to lead
But for now
Let it rest.

In the future
Down the road
All will be explained
All will be told.

Let it go
That’s what’s best
So for now
Let it rest.

Some Days Are Better

Some days are better
No matter the weather
So, make this day better
Than all of yesterday’s best.

I Said To My Dog

I said to my dog
“You are the Best person I know.”

She replied
“But I am a dog?” 

I said back to her
“You are the Best person I know.”

May The Day Be The Best

May the day be the best
May you have all you request
Happy Birthday!
Have a Happy Birthday Day

Some Sometimes Fear

Some sometimes
Fear the best
There within
The rhyme.

I don’t know
What it’s all about
All I know I need to shout
That that’s hidden
Deep within the rhyme.
