I Have Done What I Need To Do

I have done what I need to do
No one else can make
This journey for me
Neither he, she or you.

My heart aches
That you don’t know
This to be true.

But then what do I know
About your journey
That journey, like my journey
You’re travelling too.

I Don’t Want To Be You

I don’t want to be you
I want
Want to be me
Allowing nothing to stand in the way
Whether the path be straight or crooked
It doesn’t matter
It’s the way I’ll travel on my journey
To be just me

Today.

Healthy Living

Healthy living
Finds a way out
Of the hollow
Where heartache
Plays.

Seeing the crisis
Changing the rules
Making sadness
Nothing
Not used.

This is my journey
My way out of strife
May I succeed
Have
Such a glorious life.

You Are On My Journey

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

You are on my journey
I’m on your path
The way, it wanders but I can see
There is no more wrath.

Quiet acceptance
Honouring you, honouring me
Moving on into each our destinys.

I am on your path
You are on my road
We pass by smiling full with love
Wondering what life does hold.

Bide your time
I’ll let it be
A wondrous world spreading out
In front of thee.

This Morning I’m Struggling

This morning I’m struggling
Unsure, crushing blur
Can’t see around the bend
Can’t see free or happy.

Looking, trying to see
Be the good in this my journey
But this morning
It evades me.

Only feel failure, sadness
Struggling, struggling
Just don’t know
What or where I should go.

A lot have it worst I know
Makes me feel guilty
For I know I’m blessed
Have so much, so many opportunities
Yet this morning I struggle
I’m struggling.

Diva’s Words

My journey here may
Soon be done
But all the joy and happiness
Filled with love will live
Will live forever on.

I won’t forget you
Have no regrets
For I have loved
And you were the one.

Honesty, devotion
Are just a few
Of the emotions
I have towards you.

No harshness did I feel
Only love in this life
This life I shared
And lived with you.

So on your journey
You must go
And let it be known
By your side
I’ll be forever, ever more.

My Journey Is Not Over

My journey is not over
Yet.

More things to learn
And forget.

Special
Is the time we have
In this life we love.

Never
Ever will forget
All the people, friends
I’ve met.

 Journeying on a path
Filled with no regrets
Only love.
