Josephine

By Bud Lemire

In the office is where she's seen
She goes by the name of Josephine
Everyone I know says she is kind
When I talk with her, that's what I find

She's the newest member of the Harbor Tower team
Assisting the residents, she's sweet Josephine
I believe she tunes in to the people who are here
Has a great understanding and all becomes clear

Why you could sit and chat with her for over an hour
And it would seem like just minutes right here at the Tower
A likeable woman that we've come to know
Brightens the day just like a rainbow

I stopped in one day just to say hello
We talked about a recipe she seemed to know
It was roasting asparagus in the oven with cheese
When it comes to cheese I'm easy to please

I thought at this time I would write you a poem
To make you feel a little more at home
Hope you are here to stay for awhile
Thanks for your kindness and your wonderful smile

If you haven't met Josephine yet, stop into the office to meet her. She's a wonderful soul. I've been getting a lot of good feedback on her. Wonderful to talk to, and very helpful when you don't understand something.
Thank you Josephine!
