You Learn

© by Bud Lemire on April 5, 2026

Through each experience, you learn

Something new, at every turn

It may be a struggle, at times it will be

But you'll catch on to it, eventually

Take your time, go at your own pace

Do your best, you're not in a race

Let your mind soak up, whatever it will

To enter the spaces, so it can fill

Learning is fun, if it's a gradual thing

You'll be surprised, just what it'll bring

I learn a little bit, in every year

From others I know, those I hold dear

They learned from me, from what I know

With knowledge so bright, it was a rainbow

Some things are harder, to take in

Go slowly, or your head will spin

I've learned from each person, who's been in my life

The friends, the family, who have lessened my strife

The experience you have, with a job so you can earn

Will guide you through life, because of what you learn

Life is the greatest teacher, it teaches us, and molds us into

who we become. Sometimes it takes several times to catch

on to what it is showing us to be. Other times we catch on

quickly. No matter how long it takes, it is there for us to learn.

We grow into better people from what we learn.

Check The Ingredients

 

Check The Ingredients

Check the ingredients, it just might be

Something that could, possibly hurt me

Stomach issues, or an allergic reaction too

Something you didn't realize, or never knew

They're adding more stuff, to all that we use

You have to keep up, on the latest buyer news

I personally don't pay attention, but I really should

Someday it'll affect me, I'm sure that it would

We have to keep track, of what's in what we buy

Some of it could be the cause, of why some of us die

It's not only, in the foods that we eat

It could be something, we put on our feet

Or our faces, our arms, or our body each day

It could be a cream, a gel, or even a spray

It might be something, in the shampoo for our hair

Some added ingredient, that really shouldn't be there

A pan that you use, could be dangerous too

Made of something toxic, you never knew

All I am saying is, Be Aware

I'm not trying to give you a scare

Just try your very best, to be on the ball

Do I dare even tell you, about when they recall

Please be aware of ingredients and how they can affect you.

They recall foods and usually give the numbers. So watch

for them as well. You never know what we are treating our

bodies too, and it could be one reason you aren't feeling the

best. So be careful.

The Purse

 

The Purse

It was time, to get rid of some stuff

Because, really, I had more than enough

It was a purse, I had no need of anyway

So I put it on the “Give Away” table, just today

The nice manager of the building, came to me

Asked if I put a purse, on the table which is free

I said “Yes, it was me, not long ago I did”

She told me, someone found the money, which was hid

She came to the office, with the fifty five

Saying, it was the best day to be alive

Return this money, to the previous owner if you can

I think it's only fair, it's returned to their hand

So the woman in charge, asked around

And the previous owner, was found

The fifty five dollars was returned, and it was great

The previous owner of the purse, sure did appreciate

She wrote out a card, thankful for the return

Because it is something, that many don't learn

She brought it to the one, who returned it all

Being the right thing to do, she heard the call

I can imagine, the hearts were touched on this day

When you do the right thing, it always feels that way

This was not my story, and it didn't happen at the Harbor Tower.

But it could have. Yet it is a very true story. When people care

enough to do the right thing. It feels great to everyone who is

involved. They all do their part.
