And yet you still wake with that smile
The one you gave me when we met
We played cards that night
And bet that we would win
Team Pat and Steph
And yet you fill me with goodbyes
The kiss I gave you yesterday
The last one for a while
But I bet that we will win
Team Pat and Steph
Not fifty years behind your smile
The one you gave me when we met
We laughed that night
Team Pat and Steph goes on
You bet

This is dedicated to my beautiful sister-in-law who is suffering terribly with Pancreatic cancer and yesterday was told she has 2 weeks to live. She is such a wonderful woman. Sometimes life is painfully unfair. God Bless you, Pat, the world is a better place with you in it and I love you so very much. Your teammate always, Steph xxx Sadly Pat passed away on the 2nd of August. I was with her. Goodnight Pat - I love you x
Please tell me what you think
