I Love Your Blue Vest

I Love Your Blue Vest

Can you stay with me for awhile

I love the way that you smile

Maybe we could play a game or two

Because that would help me through

I love your vest, so bright and blue

Can I get one, just like you?

They are so comforting, uplifting to see

When you are sitting, right next to me

Time goes slow, as I sit here

The unknown future, causes so much fear

I really don't ask for that much

Your warm presence, is like a gentle touch

Yes, I'd love a game of cards with you

But with my mind, tell me what I should do

I can't remember, how I got this way

Yet, I still remember, my Wedding Day

You know, the other day, someone came by

Said they stopped in, just to say hi

I didn't know who it was, but they knew me

I keep trying to think, who they could be

I hate to talk too much, but I need to rest

But I must say, I love you blue vest

This actually happened to me at a place I was at. A resident

was looking at my blue vest and asked where she could get

one like mine. It surprised me, because I did wonder what

she was looking at. I guess she liked the blue color, and I

must admit, it is a beautiful blue. So, Senior Companions,

show off your blue vests, because “I Love Your Blue Vest”

Journey Within A Book

Journey Within A Book

© by Bud Lemire on Feb 3, 2019

Take a journey with me, within a book

Come on, let's see, let's take a look

The adventure will take us, to a far off place

I know with the books we've read, that is the case

Let's cheer for the hero, with so much to do

Before this book, he was someone we hardly knew

Now we are hoping, that all will end well

We know it won't happen, without going through some hell

As more characters, pop up along the way

Each one a friend, that we hope will stay

The enemy arises, he's so very strong

The hero will prevail, his name in a song

Don't worry, about the blood and the gore

Ahead in this chapter, is so much more

The author knows, how to pull us in

With his master mind, I'm sure he will win

We just started this book, and it's almost done

And together we traveled, and sure had some fun

I'm so glad, you took the journey with me

Within a book, it's an adventure for thee

What an adventure a book can take you on. It can

bring you places you never have been before. It can

put thoughts in your head, and just make you forget

that it is only a book. Until of course you put it down,

and realize, you are back in the real world. But, what

a place to go. What an adventure!
