It was spring, in the fourth month of April
When the snows melt and little dog-violets bloom
Into this world a little girl came a cryin’
The 18th marking her birth day
Patricia was her given name
But in my heart she is my B
The better half of this writing duo
Brilliant and talented, oh, in so many ways
But even more than a business partner
She is a true friend … a kindred spirit
Always there, in times good and bad
A strong soul with such gentle, sharing heart
As Brit Darby discovers her character
Neither separation nor distance matter
Our thoughts have become quite similar
Our experiences felt as if one
On this very special day of the year
I send B my warmest wishes
For long life and great happiness aplenty
Your other half, and simply … your D
~Darby

Happy Birthday, Patricia and many, many more ! May you forever have the talent that you and Fela share. I look forward to many more wonderful books.
Blessings,
Jo
