Uplifting Poems


Uplifting Poems

© by Bud Lemire on Sept 2, 2008



She gently lifts the poem from the bulletin board

To bring it home for her mind to absorb

Tomorrow she'll get a copy for her own

But for now, it's her only poem



Some people will never know why

But the words in the poem make her high

They can take you so far away

That can make you think about every day



Never realizing others look for it to read

Only knowing it's something that she needs

She smiles, feeling so good inside

Knowing her feelings are nothing to hide



She places it on the stand by the bed

A wonderful place, each time it's read

She picks it up and nods her head

She's fast asleep underneath the bedspread



The next day, she thinks copies will do

She'll share them with all the others too

Friends and family always love what they say

"Uplifting Poems, always make my day”




The word uplifting is taken two ways. The

poem uplifted you, and you uplifted the

poem and took it home. My poems were

being taken, and I was hoping it was

someone who was enjoying them.
