Tender Hearts

Tender hearts do not break  
They stand their ground
So very strong
Dear
To everyone They know. 

They change lives 
They show kindness, love
Will grow
In places so vacant 
So cold. 

Tender hearts
Only
Need a chance 
A chance to embrace
The lost, the hurt. 

Hold them
Till they too bestow 
Tender heart’s kindness 
To all 
All they know.

No More Today

No more today, none tonight
Move on
Glow, bask in the broad daylight
Have the feelings
You need embracing you
Today, tonight.

For tomorrow will come
The sun rise
The moon move
Through glowing skies
Giving happiness, joy
All day, all night.

Your feelings
Will be
What you need
The same as tomorrow
Today, tonight
Definitely.

This My Life

I hold in my hands
The very essence
Of
This my life. 

I cherish in my heart
All the things
That make it so blessed
In
All my life. 

I seek to find
Meaning, strength in the path
I take, the people I meet 
Making it the best I can
This,
My only life. 

This is my prayer
This is my life 
I will take it take it to the top
Surpass all the rest
Going to
The highest heights. 

Yes I will
This 
This is my life.

Home Is Heart

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Home is heart, heart is home

Speak softly

Let no one feel alone

Be together
Whether near or far apart

Act according
To the followings of your heart.

Our Destinies

How do we know
How
Can we see
Hear the right words
To guide
Our destinies?  

Answers not given
Ways not seen
Does
Life itself
Obscure our path 
Our destinies?

When I Hear Your Call

When I hear your call
My heart skips a beat
My mind thinks of all the things
I love about you
Oh, so sweet. 

When you had to go away
My days were grim
My heart was sad
How
My eyes did cry. 

Now again 
I can hear your voice
Taste your lips and behold you
With my eyes. 

My world is right
I’m loved
I’ll go thru the day
Without a sad or lonely cry.

Totally Unbelievable

Totally Unbelievable
Absolutely fantastic
When
Will this happen
How will it be?

Can’t wait to see
All come about
This 
That’s going to happen
Happen
Just for me.

Comes Into Focus

Sometimes it comes
Into focus loud and clear
No words spoken 
But
Everything is understood
All is
Yes, very clear
What you do with it
Is
Up to you
Your decision to act on
Or
Follow through.

Hearing Words

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Hearing words in my head
They tell of times past
Then
Sometimes things ahead

‘Listen
Listen well’

Is what they said

‘For in telling, we give you
A chance to know
Know how to deal with
What has happened
And what is still ahead’.

Only I Know

Only I know why
Only you can tell me
So reasons won’t
Become the only thing
I see, I know. 

Going past the known
With calmness
Desperately holding on
Caring not
If it’s right
Or
If I belong. 

Cause
Only I know 
Only me has known  
All along.
