about

A song for Patty Buechler, a beloved and legendary teacher in Lennox, SD. I wrote it for the celebration of her retirement in 2021.

lyrics

She has a gift for you 
She'll take a while for you
A celebration smile for you
She has a laugh for you 
She'll raise a glass to you
She is a gift to you 


She knows a prayer for you
Someone who cares for you
Just a little kick in the caboose
It's what she's got, something hot
Going to hit the spot
She is a gift to you


She knows where the memories survive
She keeps 'em in her soul
She knows it's a gift to be alive
So let the good times roll. roll, roll

There will be no escape
She'll squeeze you like a grape
Her hugs are tried and true
Everyday's a holiday to celebrate
That's her way
She is a gift to you


Snow White in her disguise
She knows where the magic lies
Wish I's in her kindergarten too
Nana camp is coming soon
Hot cocoa afternoon
She is a gift to to you


When the fire is getting dim
She's good medicine
She'll fan the flames for you
Memories, they come and go
But these are those days, you know
She is a gift to you

She Is a Gift to You - December 11, 2021 - for Patty Buechler

I live on this piece of prairie. I'm passionate and dedicated to writing songs in hopes of singing them for people. I don't think I could continue without both ends of that process. Create then hope. It's here I write songs, and here I wait to sing them for others. ... more
