Never Assume

 

Never Assume

© by Bud Lemire on Feb 4, 2021

When reading my poems, never assume

That it's about me, it might be about whom

I write about others, if so inclined

Some of the poems, are from my Imaginative mind

If I write about a suicide, It's something I won't do

It could be something I heard, or someone I knew

Most of the time, I write about what I know

All that I learned, about the human soul

Sometimes I teach, within each word I write

So that you'll feel, some of my light

A journey in time, to learn a lesson

To touch the heart, is the best blessing

I'll try to be funny, with humor in each

Just to see, which audience I'll reach

To see your response, to the words I wrote

I might even write one, about your new coat

So you see, there's so much to the Universe

Mostly enlightening, because it could be worse

As I take leave, and step out of the room

Remember, with my poems, Never Assume

Just a reminder that not all my poems are about

me. I write about others, or sometimes just to get

a message across to the reader. In hopes that you

will learn from what I have written. Or at least

take away something from it. So many have seen

me and ask if I was okay. I have to explain, it

wasn't about me. I try to keep my personal stuff

about me, mostly offline. I occasionally put some

on, because I know I have so many caring friends.

It came through in the prayers you each gave.

Thank you so much for them, and for reading this.
