Patricia Tam Poem
Cry me a river
Build me a bridge
I cannot remember
Which ditch I did dig
I am here in the present
Yet live in the past
It’s all just a blur
Moving so fast
I have lived through the storm
I have fell to my knees
But yet I do not know
The importance of these
Send me a message
Show me the light
Take heed in my warning
I live in the night
Darkness is coming
I am fading from sight
The gate is now closing
Now comes the fright
I am lost and confused
So poor and confused
So beaten and broken
With no end in sight
Cry me a river
Build me a bridge
I cannot remember
Which ditch I did dig

Patricia Tam Poem
There once was a girl
That had beauty and grace
Though beaten and broken
Had a bright smiling face
There once was a girl
Who felt aged and wise
Her heart was as large
As the stars in her eyes
There once was a girl
Who longed to be loved
Though she never quite
Found it till the man with blue eyes
He was strong and sound
He was older and wiser
Wipped the tears from her face
So trusted the man with blue eyes
There once was a girl
Who fell for the lies
Beliving and trusting
The man with blue eyes
There is now a girl
Her smile erased
Her heart splitting and bleeding
A lesson she learned
From the man with blue eyes

Patricia Tam Poem
The Connection
I lay
On the ground
I feel the breeze
Watch the trees
They wave to me
I wave back
I say “Hello”
I see
The blue sky
A cloud drifts by
Soft and white
It winks at me
I wink back
I say “Hello”
I hear
The water on the rocks
I know it clear and cool
The ducks are cruising buy
They quack at me
I quack back
I say “Hello”
I feel
The sun
It is bright and warm
It makes me blush
It peaks at me
I peak back
I say “Hello”
I want
To stay here
I feel lazy
I hear someone
They sneak up
I stay very still
I say “Hello”

Patricia Tam Poem
I Am
I am grass
I wonder if the wind will blow
I hear someones foot steps
I imagine swaying in the breeze
I Am grass
I understand when it rains I grow
I want to feel the drops all over me
I worry that some day I might dry up
I cry when I think of that day
I Am grass
I say " Come, Sit, Enjoy Me"
I dream under the stars
I try to look my best- Green, Inviting
I hope for sunny days- Spring showers- Flowers
I Am grass

Patricia Tam Poem
Broken
You say I am broken
Yet how can this be
I have come for your help
Yet you do not see me
I will beg, I will plead
I will cry as I bleed
The help you have given
Is only a seed
The seed that now grows
So dark and despaired
This seed I so feel
Cannot be repaired
Why would you do this
What have you gained
Does it make you feel better
My soul now restrained
You say I am broken
Yet how could this be
You say it’s because
Of the horror I see
What do you say
When I tell you no more
No more will I feel
The horror from before
I am what I am
That is all that I see
For now the truth is
I am only me
If free will is the answer
If truth is the key
Then open the gate
And then set me free
Set me free from the dark
Let me into the light
I no longer want
Your darkness and fright
My choice being made
My will being strong
I can only pray now
My wait won’t be long

Patricia Tam Poem
Waterfall My Life
My Life…
Why?
I am still Here?
Not that…
You Care?
What makes you…
So Perfect?
The Definition…
Of Perfection:
Not me?
I am just…
A Person?
I Guess…
Only You Know?
Why…
