Mina

Mina

by Bud Lemire on Dec 30, 2005

She's always trying, to be the perfect host

She thinks she does less, but she does the most

She became a caregiver, when her spouse became ill

Never underestimate her strength, or underestimate her will

She gives her very best, she knows how to give

Making his days, so much more pain free to live

She rises to his needs, time and time again

They've been many places, what a special friend

So appreciative of life, and of its beauty

Takes pride in her...wifely duty

For him, her love is never too old

A Norwegian lady, with a heart of gold

With a cockatiel named Louie on her back

She'll share in a treat of a corn curls snack

If you're a regular visitor to their home

She'll offer you food, and won't leave you alone

What I like most about her, is everything she sees

Of the people she meets, their good qualities

She has such a wonderful smile

Eat an apple and stay awhile

She'd love to know, all about you

You'll feel her spirit, before you're through

She's Mina, and the world's a much better place

Because it's been honored, by her touch of grace

When I was hired to take care of Ernie, who started Ernie's Party Store,

it turned out to be a wonderful adventure indeed.

His wife Mina was a wonderful soul who I came to know and

become great friends with. With her and Rick we would take trips together

and I would always bring my camera along to take pictures. She had a bubbly

personality and very open and bold quality that made her so very special.
