Rosemary, God Bless You

©2002 by Bud Lemire

I thank you Cousin Rosemary, for your thoughtful ways

That have turned each moment, into better days

For through our contact, you have kept in touch

That is the big reason, you are loved so much

Your past held so much pain for you

With your spirit strong, you always got through

You raised your own family

And was all that you could be

No one could have done, all that you had done

And I want to send you, a little of the sun

To shine down on you, and make you smile

Because you are a special cousin, I have known awhile

All the love and thoughts, you sent to me

I'm so happy to have you, in our family tree

You are a special cousin, I am glad to know

Who moved away from Marquette, so long ago

The doughnut holes, fudge, and cards were great to receive

Our love and friendship, forever, it will never leave

I thank you with all of my heart, and my soul too

My sweet dear cousin Rosemary, God Bless You

Rosemary has passed away, but my memories of her will

live on for years to come. She kept in touch and was

always sending me something in the mail. She'd call me

briefly just to keep in touch. I'm so honored I got to

know her in this lifetime.

Thank you Rosemary A. (Lemire) Martin
