Holding On, Holding Close

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.

Holding On, Holding Tight

Holding on, holding tight
Trying desperately to make it
Thru the day into night.

No one to help, no one to say
Words of wisdom
Nothing on this day.

Where will I be, what will I say
In a world where I’m on my own
For today.

Holding On

Holding on to memories
I shared with you

Some good, some bad
We danced in sync

In a dance of life
Just we two.

Holding On

Holding on
Holding fast
Letting the world twirl round.

Standing on solid ground
I hold on
Hold on, hold on.

Holding On

Holding on
Standing firm
Not backing up just to confirm
Going nowhere but here.

Holding on despite
The awful atmosphere
You will tell, I’ll be told
All the reasons
This should not unfold.

Then on we’ll go
Never looking back
For we’re holding on
We’re on track.

Holding On, Holding Tight

Holding on, holding tight
Steeling to make it thru the night
While thinking of basking
In the broad daylight
Making no matter of the matters
That matter tonight.

Optimistic For Heaven’s Sake

 

 

Optimistic for heaven’s sake
Moving forward
No hand on the brake
Thinking thoughts of gratitude
Holding on to all
No hurting feet or pounding head
Just clear breath
Breathing in and out
Thankful that I’m alive
I’m not dead.
~ Patrice

I Wonder What

I wonder what
I will say
What I’ll see
In the morning
Unfolding
Just before me.

No breath is taken
Carelessly
Holding on
Moving forward
Knowing I have
Heaven and earth
Backing me.

Then It Happened

Then it happened going far from away
To the depths of happiness
Making my year, my day.

Holding on with joyous gladness
Heading thru the mired deep
Coming out in the other happiness
Feeling pleasure ever so sweet.

The Sky Is A Wanderer

The sky is a wanderer in the sky
Not knowing how, when or why
Like a traveller moving on
Stopping now then going beyond
The edge of tomorrow
While seeking solace in a world
Looking up
Travelling, holding on.
