A Robin Lays

A robin lays a thousand eggs 
only some come to fruition 

Optimistic, she builds again 
this time, she’s sure 
she’ll see a thousand grow 

Fulfilling her ambition.

Have You Seen Optimistic?

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Have you seen optimistic?
Where, oh where could she be?
At one time she was here
Right beside of me.

She kept me company
Laughed and made me see
The happy, caring way
Just what I need.

But yesterday
She left, she left me
Have you seen optimistic?
If you do, please tell me.

Have you seen optimistic?

Optimistic

Optimistic, let it fly
Down the canyon alongside
A deep, green sea of beauty
Where the world can see
Wings holding, lifting me
Flying high, flying free.

Optimistic With The Present

Optimistic with the present
Couldn’t have foretold the past
But getting by it all together
At last, at last.

The calendar tells the date
The clock tells the time
My heart knows it ain’t
The day nor time that’ll get me
To that perfect present spot
In my time.

Optimistic, Full Of Doubt

 

 

 

Optimistic, full of doubt
Looking round
Wondering
What it’s all about.

Build it up
Let it out
This feeling
This doubt.

Be optimistic
Let it out
Shout
Shout it out.
