I Love Your Blue Vest

I Love Your Blue Vest

© by Bud Lemire on Feb 13, 2019

Can you stay with me for awhile

I love the way that you smile

Maybe we could play a game or two

Because that would help me through

I love your vest, so bright and blue

Can I get one, just like you?

They are so comforting, uplifting to see

When you are sitting, right next to me

Time goes slow, as I sit here

The unknown future, causes so much fear

I really don't ask for that much

Your warm presence, is like a gentle touch

Yes, I'd love a game of cards with you

But with my mind, tell me what I should do

I can't remember, how I got this way

Yet, I still remember, my Wedding Day

You know, the other day, someone came by

Said they stopped in, just to say hi

I didn't know who it was, but they knew me

I keep trying to think, who they could be

I hate to talk too much, but I need to rest

But I must say, I love you blue vest

This actually happened to me at a place I was at. A resident

was looking at my blue vest and asked where she could get

one like mine. It surprised me, because I did wonder what

she was looking at. I guess she liked the blue color, and I

must admit, it is a beautiful blue. So, Senior Companions,

show off your blue vests, because “I Love Your Blue Vest”
