An Angel Is Born

An Angel Is Born

1998 by Bud Lemire

On January 9th 1965, Momma Rose gave birth

To a special little girl, who began life on earth

She was destined to be, a treasure to hold dear

With her Grandmother's song, playing in her ear

It wasn't always easy for her, traveling down life's road

She worked very hard, and carried a heavy load

Parents Don and Rose, were happy she was in their life

And thought some day, she'd make someone a wonderful wife

She had her share of loves, trials she'd endure

Until that special man came, then she was sure

Mark Hudson was a Navy man, but there was love

And a family was started, with blessings from above

They both worked hard, to support the family they started

And the love they shared, never strayed and never parted

I entered her life, in the year of 1998

She needed help with her ancestry, and would appreciate

Any help that could be given

To connect the dead to the living

I'm Bud Lemire, and have researched our name

I had gathered families, who carried the same

I looked and I found, her ancestry real fast

By traveling through records, and into the past

She was so happy, having been bitten by the bug

Working on her ancestry, she wanted to give me a hug

There's more to the story, this much is fact

In 1992 I wrote to her cousin, but she didn't write back

While looking through her Aunt's box, they found that very same letter

That was sent there, and this made Karen feel very much better

It was like finding a gold mine, she wanted to jump and shout

This generous cousin, who knew what genealogy was all about

Through letters and phone calls, we shared stories of our life

We had so much in common, our happy times...our strife

We became much closer in spirit, much closer in heart

She became my Soul-Sister, though we were miles apart

This Angel who guides me, of this I must say

I'm so happy that she, sent her love my way

I've Earned my Wings, Ancestral spirits help from above

But she made it much easier, she sent me her love

So as I think back, to the day of her birth

I appreciate her presence, on this great planet Earth

For I know I've been blessed, with a special friend who is true

I know I can overcome anything, because Karen...I have you

 

 

 

This is for my Cousin Karen Lemire- Hudson.  For being

a great friend and a wonderful Cousin
