Patricia Kelley Poems

Sometimes it’s not easy being a foster parent.
I feel transparent.
I don’t know how to bond with you.
If only I knew.
...

How can I let you go, with this feeling inside of me?
How can I walk this world alone, now that I know you?
Look, around me. I see, and feel the changes in the people all around.
I have a feeling, this feeling is real.

President George Washington was a man to be respected.
He said forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
He expected his country to have higher moral principles.
He knew once religion went away.
...

I can't imagine being forced to drink dirty water.
It's nothing more than the slow death of women and children.
Led to the slaughter,
As foul smelling as a slaughterhouse,
...

What a life I have as his wife,
We both enjoy the easy life.
Eating our cherry pie,
It's our favorite pie,
...

Mother's a soft delicate creature, with loving arms always ready to catch me; in Angel's wings.
Never letting me fall,
She hears my call.
Soothing my soul with sweet lullabies, mother sings.
...

Sick of being Sick
I woke up so tired today.
I tried to put one foot in front of the other.
But it just wasn’t my day today.
...

I'll run to you, Lord. I'll run to you, Lord.
Seeing weeping faces,
Living in dark places,
Feeling life's disgraces,
...

We have some Golden Rules for our marriage.
We always put God First.
Our mate second,
Our children third,
...

Holy Spirit walked the earth as a Holy Priest.
Omnipotence,
Omnipresence,
Omniscience,
...
