I remember the first time I saw you
you little clown.
You were bashful and playful
at the same time.
You caused me so much grief, yet you saved my life
you were the reason I made it through those lonely nights.
I was always in awe of how unconditional your love could be
as day after day you stood beside me.
This love I feel for you is so hard to explain
but you understand because you feel the same way.
So for the last time as you go to sleep
My little clown, thank you for everything.
To my Patsy..
