Understand

Understand 
Understand what I should do 
Be
What I should be 
And
Believe in myself 
My being 
Being a kind, gentle 
Human being.

Beauties Of The Universe

I have known, you’ve seen 
Beauties of the universe 
Soft, gentle
And pristine. 

May they flow 
Thru tomorrow
Out to all 
Directions in-between. 

May their
Gentleness and kindness 
be all we feel 
All we need.

Fill The Store

Fill the store
Empty the heart of things vicious
Tearing you apart 

Please go 
Please depart 

Let the sun shine in 
The love to flow 
The world know you are gentle  
All good things fill 
Your store and loving heart.

Riley Passed Away Yesterday

Riley passed away
yesterday
his beating heart stopped
his breath ceased to be
only memories
memories that is all we have
you see.

A gentle, kind, wondrous guy
knowing, knowledgeable
a smile on his face
devoted beyond belief
this was Riley
who now has been.

He passed away, passed away
yesterday
rest in peace sweet Riley
you were loved and loved
unconditionally.
~ Patrice  

~ My deepest condolences to his family and all that loved him ~

Come Together

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.

Wondering What I’m Going To Do

Wondering what I’m going to do
Travel back in time
Or make memories all anew
Finding it hard to let go
Of thoughts and judgements
I’ve had, they just stay
They won’t go.

Heart is full, heart is fine
But it must be considerate
Of those along the way I find
Never to berate
Nor say stinging things
Be good, gentle
Moderate everything.

As You Move Forward Into Eternity

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

As you move forward into eternity
Stop and look around
See majesty.

See forests, lawns, parks and lakes
See people, fawns and a most interesting place
Nothings ever dull if you but care to trace
The movement of the world
For it’s such a wondrous place.

Please move thru this time in space
With a light and tender thread
So they’ll only know you’ve been here
By all the good they felt
From your kind and gentle tread.

An Old Soul Once Told Me

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

An old soul once told me
‘Be kind, gentle and above all full of courtesy’.

Makes no difference that old soul you see
Was a dog I knew
Oh, just so briefly.

Sometimes I Let It Go

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Sometimes I let it go
Sometimes I don’t give it a second thought.

Sometimes I wonder what happened?
What changed your mind and erased your loving heart?

Once I was all you knew
No one else you gave a second thought.

Now indifference clouds the view
Sarcasm is the voice heard a lot
No more gentle caress, no more loving thoughts.

Didn’t happen over night
It seeped in thru empty, shallow thoughts
Taking a awful tole on our gentle, loving hearts.

Sometime turn around look back down your path
See me standing all alone, looking back.

Loving as much as I did then
In the gentle, loving days
Before the empty, shallow thoughts.

Gentle Kindness Needed Everywhere

Gentle kindness needed everywhere
Fill the gap with hardy laughs
Store any gain in a open sack.

That way, you’ll be above
Beyond
All that holds you back.

Laugh, laugh
Embracing and sharing gentle kindness
Feel it here at last.
~ Patrice
