Reflections
By Joeysguy
When my kids were young they would run around
You always new where they were just by the sound

Someone would bring home a dog or a cat
One daughter even had a pet rat

With everything  my wife was at my side
Until that horrible day that she died

I’m looking at a picture, that was our wedding day
I can’t remember all of the words we did say

This picture shows our marriage sealed with a kiss
My tears are a reminder, I will never again have this

With my wife gone and my kids grown
My dogs are gone and I live alone

I wish my wife walked through the door
So I could hold her and kiss her once more

In my house I’m always seeing a figure
It can look smaller but it’s never bigger

I see this figure in every room
It looks at me with the face of gloom

I’ve seen this figure just a short time in my life
Tell me figure are you my wife

The figure speaks and I know this voice
Figure your not my choice

The figure is in everything that has a shine
It’s a reflection that is always mine

Wedding Bands
By Joeysguy

I placed a ring on her left hand
A plain white gold wedding band

With all my love this ring is from me
I also wore a ring for people to see

Today the rings have become something more
They also tie us together for evermore  

Mine is still on my left hand
From my neck hangs her wedding band

I feel her in my heart and in my life
I still think of her as my wife

What Some Men Can’t See
By Joeysguy

For years it’s been said that love is blind
Probably meant with men in mind

Women are different in many ways
With some men their in a daze
  
All women have inner beauty of their own
And most of the time that beauty is shown  

Women are filled with loving care
Especially for children they love so dear

Some men can’t see beyond their nose
The love in the family that grows and grows

Why
By Joeysguy

How would it be talking to God
Getting a response might be odd

I would ask, since you are the higher good
Why can’t you protect people as you could                  
                      
Children are so innocent and pure
Some sick with a disease, why can’t we get a cure

Some of the evil that men do
They yell and scream in the name of you

When any terror comes out of the night
They want to hurt, **** or just fight

Some only care about their belief
They care nothing about loss or grief

Why can’t you strike out the terror in ones mind
Before they can hurt the innocent, the kind

We lose loved ones to sickness or an end to their time
Why can’t you stop any terror before the crime

Don’t Cry For Me
By Joeysguy

When the day comes and I die
Don’t be sad, don’t  cry

I would say I had a good life
With children, grandchildren and a beautiful wife

At the end of this life
I’ll be back with my wife

All you kids I will miss
From you I’ll give mom a big kiss

Don’t cry, don’t grieve
I’ll be with your mother after I leave

Dance on a cloud
By Joeysguy

My wife and I met in the city of New York
With touching of hands a kiss and some talk

After years of marriage and children she died
With no goodbyes I broke down and cried
  
Our wedding bands are no longer apart
Joined together they hang near my heart

My wife in heaven waits for me
I don’t know how long it will be

For as long as I’m earthly bound
I hope my wife’s spirit is around

Looking at the white clouds up above
I think of my wife who I love

Clouds look like spirits in the sky
Raindrops could be spirits that cry

To continue with romance
To hold her, love her and dance

To dance on a cloud in the sky
It’s now my dream for my wife and I

Blue Eyes
By Joeysguy

I fell for a blonde who had blue eyes
I married that blonde with the blue eyes

Having children was a real joy
We had two girls and a boy

I always thought I would be the first to die
I didn’t think she would leave me to cry
  
I carry a small vial that has a chain
The contents is some of my pain

With the memories of my wife
Just a little something from her life

I have a clip on my money
With a picture of who was my honey

In a shirt pocket is my cell phone              
When opened my wife’s picture is shown

I also carry pictures of my wife
These show her in a younger life

Now in heaven is that blonde with the blue eyes
Which now helps to fill those blue skies

To the blonde with blue eyes I want to say
I carry your love with me everyday
