American Brave
By Joeysguy

To our brave for over all the years
For you some of us have shed tears.

To you servicemen and women, who served and still serve
I say thank you, which you greatly deserve.  

You fight to protect our American way
You put your life on the line everyday.

You protect the colors of our flag
Some of you come home in a body bag.

You protect our flag of stripes and stars
Some of you come home with battle scars.

Included are the people of 9/11 who died
The volunteers, the relatives and the people cried.

I’m sorry to the families of the brave    
Their sons and daughters who’s life they gave.

We are Americans of this great country
Again thanks to all the Military.

Honor My Wife
By Joeysguy

For so many years she was my wife
Now she is just a memory in my life

Everyday that goes by
I find it hard to keep a dry eye

I was born to love my kids and my wife
Which I will for the rest of my life

I realize some of my poems are sad
That’s how it is losing someone you love so bad

All I have now are my memories of joy
Dreaming back to the days of my wife my daughters and my boy

Everyday is about the same for me
I eat I sulk I sit and watch TV

I have my first tattoo on my arm honoring my wife
With all the years she was in my life

I wear her name as proud as can be
Wishing she was still hear with me

My wife was my children’s mother
There will never be another

My love for my wife was my first my only and my past
As far as I’m concerned she will be my last

I remember back to that first night when I drank some wine  
Once we kissed I felt in my heart she would be mine

Touch no More
By Joeysguy

When I was young at age seventeen
I met my future wife who was nearly sixteen

When I was age twenty one wild and free
I ask my love if she would marry me

Not thinking how fast time passes by
We got older and older my wife and I

Thinking back I did not know
How much my love for my wife would grow

On January fifth two thousand and nine
I lost my wife I thought would always be mine

You find out how time flies
When someone you love dies

We were together fifty plus years
Now my eyes are filled with tears

In a poem written by my wife                        
Something she had written early in life

She wrote, in her dreams our lips have met
You wait honey I will hook you yet

When I sit and look at pictures of my wife
How pretty she was and how short was her life

It is over a year that my wife is gone
People say I must move on

My children are all now grown
They have children of their own

I loved my wife so very much
And now I will no longer feel her touch

To My Joey and Children
By Joeysguy

I have made many mistakes in my life
Except the day I took a wife

From that came the pitter patter of six little feet
That truly made my life complete

The days I hate are your birthdays I believe
Because you get older and so you will leave

I wish time would stop on Christmas day
So you would stay small to play and play

Before the day comes when you say goodbye
I hope that everything you want I could buy

As far as things for my wife
No hurry we have all of our life

The one thing I have plenty of
Is my wife and children I truly love

Love is the only thing I want from you
Forever and ever you will love me true

As a husband and father I’m not the best
But how do I compare to all the rest

If anything should ever break us up
I think I would shatter like a cup

You all have a piece of my heart
Please, please do not tear it apart

I do not know what else to say
Except god protect my family everyday

Message to God
By Joeysguy

Something I would like to ask
For you this would be a small task

My wife is in heaven with you
That’s something you already knew

Years ago when I met my wife
She’s been the everything in my life

And now that where apart
I wish to say something from my heart
                                  
Would you let her know
That we all miss her so

Would you give her all my love
Till you take me up above

Treasure of Man
By Joeysguy

Every man has the chance
To find love and romance

Having a family with your wife
That’s a treasure of a man’s life

Mine had blue eyes and blonde hair
A beautiful face with a smile to share

The three children we had
Made me proud to be a husband and a dad

Every man’s treasure is in front of his face
Make a good life at a slow pace

I take a deep breath and let out a sigh
To think how lucky was I

The Honey To Do List
By joeysguy

Honey here is your to do list
It was written after that first time we kissed

I know you are that special one
Who would follow the list till it’s done

Follow the list in it’s order
Do not change, do not alter

The first thing you will do
Is to ask me to marry you

You will love me as I love you
With the promise of a love that’s true

You will give me children, maybe two
I know we will be loved by you

Be a good husband to your wife
You will keep us together for life

If I should be the first to die
Make it short if you do cry

Go on with the rest of your life
Remember me as your wife

With a new honey to do list I’m waiting here
Don’t hurry, I love you dear
