Rose

© by Bud Lemire on July 16, 2022

Born on November eleventh, in the year nineteen thirty nine

She came into this world, with the help of the divine

Growing up like any girl, following where it lead

With brothers Clarence, Gerald, and Alfred

Her parents Lawrence and Rose, taught her at the very start

To be a special woman, she had to always do her part

She took part in activities, always following her heart

Gazing at each flower, as if it was a work of art

Old enough to marry, it was David Winker, they said “I Do”

They had three children, so very fast they each grew

Giving them, all the love they had to share

So they'd know, how to love and to care

She loved her children, and grandchildren as well

She enjoyed her sports, it was easy to tell

A hard worker, mowing the lawn and shoveling snow

David, the love of her life passed, it was his time to go

She spent time with her grandchildren, whom she loved very much

They could tell she did, from her smiles and loving touch

When it came her time, she too passed away

Now she lives, as a special memory every day

Within the hearts of those, whose lives she shared

Because her soul, was one who always cared

Rose knew about love and caring, and all the things

in life to be a special woman, a special wife, s special

Mom, and a special Grandmother. She always greeted

everyone with a smile and a hello. Now she's back

together with the love of her life and her family. She

watches over her family and friends from Heaven.

She still guides each of them with her spiritual presence.
