M&M

M&M

© by Bud Lemire on Oct 10, 2019

I got an M&M one day, from a friend

My current life I lived in, was about to end

I was going on a journey, far away

It was given to me, on this special day

It wasn't chocolate, it was to keep things cold

Changes in my life, were about to unfold

It was, to keep all my drinks cool

He never, took me for a fool

I was on an adventure, to a foreign place

I traveled alone, and faith is what I'd embrace

I used it, on my trip to Quebec in the year Two Thousand and One

When I returned, that adventure was over and done

I traveled West, and brought it along

It kept things cold, my heartbeat strong

To Washington State, to start anew

It didn't last, then my life there was through

I keep that M&M he gave to me, in the freezer every day

My friend who gave it to me, has since then passed away

Even though it was a cold gift to give

The thought keeps me warm, each day that I live

Thank you Bob (Miller)! I'm still using that M&M to keep

some things cold. Every time I do I think of the man who

had a warm heart and a thoughtful and caring soul. I'm

reminded that so many wonderful people come into our

lives and then leave it. Touching us with their presence,

and forever leaving a wonderful memory to cherish what

they gave to us. And I know, he is not far away, and watches

over me and helps to guide me from the Spirit World.
