Heaven Helps

Heaven helps
heaven waits to save 
comfort when you fall
when your heart sinks
and no one comes
even if you ask, you cry
you call.

Heaven stands strong
stands tall
reaching down, lifting up
saving you, giving
asking nothing back
nothing at all.

I Am Only All Alone

I am only all alone 
when I feel my heartbeat fall 
like a stone onto pavement 
cold and bleak. 

No words are spoken
nothing to repeat 
my sobs, my cries unheard 
for they fall down
cracks residing deep beneath. 

Known to no one 
no one hears their woeful cries 
no one reaches to save
I am only all alone.

Save Myself, Help Myself

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Save myself, help myself
Do not accept defeat
Power, strength moves mountains
Higher expectations cancel out retreat.

Now is the time to stand
Stand right on the line not looking back
Accepting the fact that I am
I am.

I am the one who has the will
The power to help and save
That person who I am
This I know, I know I am.

Today is a sad day for me
Today was the day I knew in my heart
My mom was dying.

Nothing, nothing I could do
Or say would stop it
This I knew in my heart
But not my head.

Anguish, fear, frightened
Looking for the answer
That would save her
Keep her here with me
Sadly, not to be.

Not once did I think
That maybe she had had enough
And wished to go
Oh no.

When I look back on this day
I see it was all about me
My feelings, my hurt
My need to have her here with me.

I said Goodbye that day
While deep inside, my heart knew
My head refused
Believing we’d have more, more happy days.

That inner voice, my heart
It knew
It knows the future and has lived the past.

She passed
She passed the next day
My mom, she…

My mom, she passed away.
