A big milestone
looms in my way
not one to saunter to
not one to bypass or ignore
not today.
Strength and courage
are mustered to surpass
the obstacles seen today
to that tremendous milestone
on my path, on my way.

@ Patrice Clarkson – 2021
Looking back upon my life
Things seem to be
Sometimes
Not very nice.
Looking back not sure what
Got me here
Never saw but felt it near
A presence
Being absolute
Holding me with resolute.
Looking back I can’t see why
I struggled so and didn’t die
Think cause it would pick me up
Dust me off, pat me on the back
Saying words “Go ahead you’re not dead”
“Life has still a lot to offer.”
Looking back down my way
I see I didn’t walk alone
Nor did I saunter
But full stream ahead is what I did
For I had my heart, my soul
And the help a presence offered.
