She Wore A Grin


She Wore A Grin

© by Bud Lemire on Jan l7, 2009



I first met her at the library, looking up her family tree

She told me she lived in the same building as me

I'd find her working on a jigsaw puzzle each day

She enjoyed my company and what I had to say



Her life wasn't easy, many struggles to go through

She was trying to teach her grandson, what she already knew

She moved out for awhile, later she moved back in

Playing pool with Bob, she wore a grin



Cowboy hat and boots, listening to country music play

If seemed like her life, was doing better than okay

With the reading she would do, every word, every letter

Her life at the Tower, could only get better



Taking part in Bingo on a Saturday night

She took in the fun, enjoyment and delight

If you see her, you'll notice her warm smile

She's a Senior Companion, it's part of her style



She's a wonderful lady, that I've come to know

If you notice it lately, her face seems aglow

She's happy, she's found contentment in her heart

Love seems to play a very special part




Barb (Papile), I hope everything in life continues to make

you happy. You are so deserving of the joy in your life.

Thank you for your friendship.
