Patches's Story
Patches, a spirited Border Collie, brought endless joy with her happy, smiling face and love for life. Her most monumental moments were found herding sheep, and she cherished walks through coolies, on the beaches of Costa Rica, and across the deserts of Yuma, AZ. Her spirit now runs like a streaking bullet through the tall grass at Keho, forever surrounded by boundless love.

Lyrics
Intro - piano, acoustic guitar
Verse 1
The first time that I saw your face
A happy smile, so full of grace
A border collie, keen and bright
You filled my world with joyful light
Chorus
Oh, Patches, my sweet girl, it's true
Twelve wondrous years I spent with you
Your memory lives on inside my heart
We're never truly far apart
Verse 2
Through coolie paths and sands so fine
On Costa Rica's ocean line
In Yuma's desert, hot and wide
You always stayed right by my side
But oh, the joy of herding sheep
A promise that my heart will keep
Your spirit free, a vibrant hue
In every dream, I'll walk with you
Chorus
Oh, Patches, my sweet girl, it's true
Twelve wondrous years I spent with you
Your memory lives on inside my heart
We're never truly far apart
Bridge
I whisper now, a silent plea
I wish I was a better mom to thee
If love could keep you here with me
You would have lived eternally
I would have given you the world, my dear
And wiped away each falling tear
Instrumental - piano, pads
Final Chorus
Oh, Patches, my sweet girl, it's true
Twelve wondrous years I spent with you
Your memory lives on inside my heart
We're never truly far apart
Outro
Now you run free, a streaking bullet, bright
Through tall green grass at Keho's light
At peace you rest, a gentle sleep
Forever in my heart you'll keep
Outro - piano fade
