There is no past tense in my heart
\nwhere she lives now while I go on.
\nDeath can never tear apart
\nthe partnership that we have won.<\/p>\n
A force of nature we called Pat
\nor Patsy, even Pattie-Anne,
\nPatricia wore the helper’s hat
\nat TRIUMF, teaching “Yes we can!”<\/p>\n
And then I took her for my own
\nand for the children that we made
\nand for the homes where we have grown
\nand for the love that always stayed.<\/p>\n
So now I have but this to give:
\nas long as I myself shall live
\nI will preserve the memory of
\nyour conquering, undying love.<\/p>\n
