Carmela Patterson Poems

Perseverance is a virtue great blessings to imbue
Through it the soul is nurtured as it heeds every cue
From the Holy Spirit who indwells within it if it is true
To the faith of our fathers who guides us through
...

Floating above the clouds my heart takes flight
Unfolding loveliness enveloping my sight
Light as a feather ascending higher
To my God in prayer I so aspire.
...

In the venue of Christian Ramblings Magazine
Many topics from many sources have been seen
Whetting the appetite for what is wholesome and clean
And testing mental skills to keep our minds keen.
...

While at prayer in Church this very morning
I heard within my spiritual soul as it was soaring
The sound of that mighty trumpet blast
That Christ Jesus is coming again at last.
...

Early morning has begun and the dawn sky
Fills the horizon with ribbons of purple, pink and gold;
What a beauteous sight to behold,
high in the sky to delight the seeing eye.
...

God must delight in the sight of His snow so white
Should not our souls, too, be just as bright!

Gazing upon the newly fallen snow and what a pretty show!
...

In praying the Holy Rosary in the Chapel this early Morn
within my spiritual being I saw Mary as Queen of Heaven.
She was motioning for me to come to her,
waving her right hand and pointing to her heart.
...

O Sweet Virgin, Mother of God, to you I give
At least one golden rose for each day that I live
As humbly and with love I most fervently pray,
A garland of Hail Mary's in heartfelt love I say.
...

When you are weary from the burdens you bear,
When you feel no one anywhere will ever care,
When you think you cannot go one step more,
When you are in pain through to your core,
...

A little grain of sand upon the beach
Has a lesson in humility to teach
Considering the numbers vast and wide
So high so deep a grain hides inside
