People I Hold Dear


People I Hold Dear

by Bud Lemire on May 15, 2004



Treasure the people, that you hold dear

Expressing your love, is a reason we’re here

You’ll be surprised, of what a smile can do

Or an encouraging word, coming from you



A pat on the back, is good for us each

Keeps us trying, to stand tall and to reach

Life without smiles, is no place to be

Friends are the best thing, that’s happened to me



They’re always there, to hear what I have to say

And their letters and words, make my every day

They’re there for you, through the good and the bad

The ups and the downs, the happy and the sad



Life has a way, of bringing you many places

To encounter many people, with all different faces

Each of them special, in the way that you know

Come into your life path, to help you grow



This poem was written, for my friends who are here

I love you each, in my heart and soul I hold you dear

I thank you each, for the friendship we share

For the encouraging words, which show that you care
