Patty

Her sparkling eyes hide all our pain
Her unconditional love in sun or rain
Her loving glance can make my day
Her gentle voice to guide my way
Charity and compassion she gives for free
The tender touch she gives to me
A thousand times I've watched her sleep
In pain and frustration without a peep
Our house is small but neat and tidy
A friendly smile with heart so mighty
I don't always tell her how much I care
When I squeeze her tight and touch her hair
A thousand times I've tried to say
The way I feel each and every day
I love her now and ever after
In sorrow, grief and times of laughter
My love for her forever lingers
My golden band upon her finger
