Having a Wife
By Joeysguy

What does it mean to have a wife
For  me it was someone to share my life

Someone to love and protect everyday
To love and cherish in everyway    

To have loved in the life we did share
To love so much and so much to care

In my heart to feel her touch
Having children and grandchildren to love so much

You will always be in my life
Till the end of time you are my wife

50
By Joeysguy

On April 7th we had a small wedding
It was a life with you I was getting

50 years ago you became my wife
I said I do for the rest of my life

In all our years I never cried
I do it now since you died

At night is the loneliness
All the time is the emptiness  

I wanted to get a new engagement ring for you
Maybe even repeat the words, I do

The guilt I felt because of no goodbye
At the same time I also wanted to die

I loved you so many years of my life
I will always love you as my wife

I’m still finding things hard to do
These were easy things for you

Until again it’s you and me
Happy 50th anniversary

Alex
By Joeysguy

Graduation day comes every year
With joy, happiness and even a tear

You’re a tall slender red head
As pretty as can be and with that said

Your getting older and you will leave
We say goodbye and in you we believe

How proud we all are
With schooling and study you will go far

With love in our heart
A new venture you will start  

Stay safe and be careful being on your own
We love and will miss you even if your grown

Joey’s guy
By Joeysguy

In 1962 my girlfriend changed my life
When she said I do and became my wife

My girlfriend taught me how to kiss
From girlfriend to wife to someone I terribly miss

We were married and brought together
I wanted us to be as one forever

We had two daughters and a son
After three children we were done

At times we use to take the kids to the park
It was something we didn’t do after dark

My wife passed without a goodbye
And to this day I could still cry
  
I look at pictures of my wife
That’s all I will have for the rest of my life

I can remember kissing her hand
Now on a neck chain I kiss her wedding band

She raised her family with love
Now my wife is in heaven above
  
At times my poems make me cry
They help me to be Joey’s guy

In Dreams
By joeys guy

In dreams I can have it all
My wife and when my kids were small

In dreams I can bring back the years
To a time before all my tears

In dreams my wife would wait
Until I fall asleep even if I’m late

In dreams I can see my beautiful wife
Appearing to me from an earlier time of life

In dreams when my wife comes to me
She is young and pain free

In dreams I can relive my life
Showing more love for my wife

In dreams I can take her by the hand
I see she’s wearing her wedding band

In dreams I can hold her so very tight
I can hold her all through the night

In dreams we can touch and caress
Day or night my love for her is no less

In dreams I would ask her to give me more time and stay
Only till morning is what she would say

In dreams I don’t have any tears
Until morning when she disappears

At the end of night, here comes the daylight
All I can say is, in dreams I’ll see you tonight

Michael
By Joeysguy

As a young boy I was built like a ball
Then at age 16 I grew to over 6 foot tall

Never finishing high school, I went to work
To help my mother, I worked as a clerk

I met the girl who would be in my life
Kiss me, love me and be my wife

From that first day that I lost my wife
It’s taken so much from my life

Some of my poems might be a little long
Some words I might have spelled wrong

I don’t think of myself as a poet
I don’t understand poems, I know it

Reading a poem and trying to understand
It’s hard for me, it’s much a demand

My poems come from my head and my heart
The love for my wife does stand apart

I read and post my poems for people to see
To tell of the feelings that are in me

My poems are fact and true
I appreciate your listening and I thank you
