You Were There For Me

You Were There For Me

by Bud Lemire on May 8, 2004

How can I ever begin to thank you

For everything you’ve done, and would do

For taking me, into your home

So I give thanks in this poem

You’ve spent years alone, in your own place

Yet you opened your home, let me in your space

I know it wasn’t an easy thing to do

But it was the right thing for you

Time can move so very fast

The present becomes the past

I’ll remember what you’ve done

And it’ll warm me like the sun

When I’m back on my feet

These memories I’ll always keep

For you were there for me

When no one else could be

This is for my brother Clyde.

He took me in, after living alone for so long,

 and helped me out when I needed it.

Thanks Clyde!!!
