Patty

Lord knows I count my blessings every day

For the caring soul who walks beside my way

Patty, you’ve got a heart so wide and deep

A loving kind of promise that you keep

You always know exactly how to make me smile

Your funny, joyful spirit carries me a mile

Oh, I love my sister, yes I do

There is a sweet, sweet spirit inside of you

Through the years and the tears and the skies of blue

Patty, I thank heaven for the gift of you

I close my eyes and I can see it now

The happy times when love would fill the house

When we were all together, safe and warm

With our kids just running, sheltered from the storm

And Moma watching over, smiling in the light

Her love was wrapped around us, making all things right

Oh, I love my sister, yes I do

There is a sweet, sweet spirit inside of you

Through the years and the tears and the skies of blue

Patty, I thank heaven for the gift of you

You are funny, you are caring, you are endlessly kind

A more loving sister, I could never find

You carry Moma’s memory in the things you say

Bringing grace and comfort to my every day

Oh, I love my sister, yes I do

There is a sweet, sweet spirit inside of you

Through the years and the tears and the skies of blue

Patty, I thank heaven for the gift of you

Yes, Patty, I thank heaven for the gift of you
