Gentle Old Soul

By Bud Lemire on March 27, 2009

 
Gentle and kind is this gentle old soul
A dear friend for company, someone I know
Some Cribbage tonight, or a game of dice
Your wonderful company, sure would be nice
 
She injured her arm, when she had a fall
Not long before, she had given me a call
She recovered quite well, with her strong will
And has almost full use of her arm still
 
Inside her apartment, she has some bird clocks
You hear the birds singing, and not the tick tocks
She knows her birds, so very well
If you ask her, she’ll surely tell
 
She’s a gentle old soul
Everybody loves to know
She’s gentle and kind
And has a good mind
 
I find her to be a very good friend
And cherish all the time that we spend
Trustworthy and honest, she’s all this too
A dear sweet lady, Loretta it’s you


For my dear friend Loretta LaFave-Iverson, who has aged into a wonderful lady who is always good company
