Sweet Lorraine

©2001 by Bud Lemire

You're my cousin, you're my friend, and sometimes you're my Mother

And through this journey of life, we have helped one another

You felt my weary traveler's heart, when we met earlier this year

And through my words in poetry, you even felt my fear

You've been there for me, with the changes I've been through

You are a special person, just for being you

You didn't always agree, with my point of view

You held back your advice, so I could do what I should do

You were there in life, to always cheer for me

And you accepted me, just for who I could be

We climbed our tree together, and it was a lot of fun

You shared a lot of family information, with all that you had done

You told me of your fears, and you heard all about mine

\Ye both got through then and now we're doing just fine

We shared a lot, about each others life

You told me how it was, to be a Mother and a wife

We learned about each other, as we went along

And corrected one another when one of us was wrong

We shared our views, on everything that we knew

And from it all, we helped each other through

I would like to take the time, to thank you very much

For being a special friend, and always keeping in touch

Your friendship was the sunshine, when I was feeling rain

You understood my life in many ways, my sweet, sweet, Lorraine

For my friend and cousin Lorraine Lemire-Miville. Thank you

for your insight, and your help in genealogy and in life.
