Those Who Pass Our Way

                      By Bud Lemire on Feb 16, 2009

 
On the journey of life, many people pass our way
Adding so much, to each and every day
Some stay for a short time, some for quite awhile
They leave us with an impression, they leave us with a smile
 
Some leave, never to return
But there’s always so much we can learn
They leave us with a wonderful thought
Of all the things that they had brought
 
Memories that we can look back upon
Like the words found in a touching song
They play over and over in our mind
Bringing us back to that special time
 
A vision appears and we can see
When we last saw them, in our memory
Some have passed, some moved away
Some journeys end, some begin anew each day
 
For us, how can we forget
Those special people that we have met
We can look back and we will always know
Those Who Pass Our Way, wherever we go


I dedicate this poem to Eric Lemire of Charbuy France, a friend and cousin who passed away on January 21, 2009. I also dedicate this to all the other people who have passed through my life, and made a big impression.
