A Song Of Life

A Song Of Life

by Bud Lemire on June 8, 2006

She sits there searching, for pieces to find

A tranquil feeling, flowing through her mind

Meditation, in a certain way

After a long, hard working day

Others will come, and sit down and look

Sharing their life’s story, as if from a book

In this room, she hears it all

While she further completes, the scenic jigsaw

Looking after her Grandson, that she took under her wings

In another part of the building, he silently sings

A song of life, about all the ties that bind

Of a Grandmother’s love, one who is so kind

It’s not easy for either, to be where they are

The journey is tough, but it’ll take them far

They’ll look back on these times, with a good attitude

Special memories to cherish, like a jigsaw that is glued

For we choose where we are, and we choose where we go

We choose everything, that we want to know

Just as it is, with everything that we feel

It is the same, with my friend Barb Papile

This is for Barbara Dart-Papile-Olsen,

a good friend who enjoys a good book

amd a good poem (usually mine)
