She brightens up a room, just by being there,
No regard to race or gender,
She's always the first to care.
Her words are so uplifting; she offers each a hand,
In Patty's a friend like no other;
She'll always understand.
I've never seen her say, a harsh word to anyone.
She takes them all under her wings;
To become her daughter or son.
It's easy to tell that she speaks from the heart;
When she fights for the causes
That tear her warm soul apart.
With a smile like the suns golden rays,
And a heart of pure gold,
Nobody else shares love on AP
Like our storiesuntold.
Author notes
Patty is truly amazing; you'll see she always leaves caring comments for people; and writes straight from the heart - there are so many causes that she fights for, and never lets her own troubles get her down, even though I know she sometimes puts on a 'brave' face in order to help others. Patty; you're an inspiration to us all
