Imagination
    by Joeysguy

  It was many years ago
  I happened to be at a casino

  After awhile I sat in a card game
  The casino dealer never said his name

  The dealer said these cards were of my future life
  He dealt me a jack, and a queen that represented a wife

  He dealt three more cards from the pack
  They were two more queens and a second jack
  
  I've dealt you a good hand, the dealer said
  That's what you'll have after your wed  
  
  The five cards totaled to a full house
  The three kids will be born to you and your spouse

  Place them all in your heart
  You'll have love from the start

  It all came true long after that game
  I found out that Heaven was that casinos name

Believing in Santa

By Joeysguy

At home it was just my mother and me
When I was a child we had a Christmas tree

That tree was about two feet tall
It was on top of the fridge against the wall

Mom would say, you have to be a good boy
And Santa would leave you a new toy

Christmas Eve he would come but then disappear
And he wouldn’t come again till the following year

I found out why there was only one toy for me
Because my mom didn’t have much money

As a child there were things I never knew
I found out about Santa not being true

Having a family with kids and a wife
Again Santa was back in my life

Telling my kids go to bed and turn down the light
If you want Santa to come tonight

Even our dogs got a toy and a treat
It would be a ball and something to eat

My wife and I were able to give the kids more
Some from Santa, most from a store

It’s been years since Santa came by
The kids grew up and my dogs did die

I haven’t had a Christmas tree in my house
Since the year that I lost my spouse

When I’m older and in my second childhood
Santa will come if I’m good

I’m asking only for my wife
To be with me for the little time left of my life

It’s Just A Band-Aid  

By Joeysguy

When I was small my mother had some tricks
She would say the band-aid was a quick fix

Using a band-aid to cover a scrape or cut
Keeping out the dirt and any ****

Some places I have trouble putting a band-aid on  
It’s only me, my wife is gone                                    

Recently a wasp had stung me
Confused, I looked to my wife to help me

I then remembered she is not here
Not sure of what to do gave me a little scare

I can put a band-aid on anywhere in front of me
I can’t put it on my back a place I can’t see

My wife wanted a band-aid on my mouth
Even my daughters say I have a bigmouth

I wish my mom taught me her tricks
I would swallow a band-aid, my heart needs a fix

My Empty Eyes
By Joeysguy

Years back living in a full house
With kids, dogs and a spouse

One daughter even had white rats
My other daughter with her cats

You had to be careful so as not to fall
All over would be toys, maybe a ball

At times I would help to put the kids to bed at night
Giving them a kiss before turning down the light

I would stand the kids against the wall
Placing marks to show them getting tall  

The kids were getting older and will move out one day
That day came and they did move away

It became hard for my wife to walk or stand
It would help when I would take her hand

One day my wife had passed on
My last two pets are also gone

I never thought I would lose my spouse
Now it’s emptiness that fills my house

Each time I enter a room
They are filled with gloom

Empty is a space in the bed we did share
Empty at the kitchen table is her chair

We were bound together by the words, I do
With wedding bands and saying I love you

My eyes are empty and I can’t see
I can’t see my wife in front of me

I Do, But Now Do I
By Joeysguy

I gave up being single and free
To have the love of Joey

I proposed  and she said yes I will marry you
On our wedding day we both said I do

After so many years I lost you
Not knowing now what do I do

Why do I hurt so bad
Why do I feel so mad

How do I ever go on
I can’t get passed you being gone

Do I give your stuff away
Do I move or do I stay

Do I remove my wedding band
Do I take it off or move it to the other hand

I feel people don’t understand what I’m going through
Until it happens to them they have no clue

Together we started with the words I do
I hate this going on without you

Do I ever stop with the tears
I do love you, and for the rest of my years

How Young We Were
By Joeysguy

My wife’s final day she lost the bout
At the hospital I collapsed my legs gave out  

They took me into the emergency
Nothing wrong they said with me

They couldn’t see my heartache  
They couldn’t feel my heartbreak  

At night when I go to bed
I twist and turn with thoughts in my head

Some nights to sleep is hard for me
Thinking of my wife I wish I could see

On my neck is my wife’s wedding band
I clutch it tightly in my hand

My body is tired and with some pain
Why do I go on what’s to gain

I wish I new the end to my life
I miss so much not being with my wife

I look at pictures how young we were
That’s how I wish to be again with her

Holding Back A Tear
By Joeysguy

At the bereavement group that I attend
It’s a place we don’t have to pretend

We hear stories of emotion and pain
Pretending here has nothing to gain

People come here in a sad way
Because of a life that had slipped away

Some people sit here with tears in their eyes
We all know that pain of when a love dies

With the stories that we hear
It’s hard to hold back a tear

Everyone here has lost a love
Taken from us to the heaven above

It’s always hard to keep a dry eye
Being here any of us may cry

We heard of a rock giving strength in ones life
For me it’s this group and the poems to my wife
 
The feeling of normal was asked of me
That normal in my life will never again be

People outside can act different as we know
We may hold back our feelings so as not to show

So this is the place we can be true
To ourselves and to each of you

Heavens Gate                                   
By Joeysguy

All through life we may move slow
Not like watching the grass grow

At times were in a hurry
We don’t stop or slowdown to worry

When we get older we do slowdown
Our skin may wrinkle and look like a frown

The only time were never late
When were going up to heavens gate

Helen’s Daughter
By Joeysguy

Helen, Since your daughter is back with you
This writing is long overdue

When your daughter became my wife
I also became her protector in life
                                                            
She developed heart problems like you
And died because of  it too

I feel I failed to keep her alive
I’m sorry that she didn’t survive
                                                
Lots of my memories bring out my tears
But I wouldn’t trade away any of those years
                                        
Being with her on that very last day
That’s the time I wish I could trade away

Will you watch over her with care
Hold on to her till the day that I get there

She has given me some special days
With balloons and candles I show some loving ways

I never new how empty I could be
Until your daughter passed and left me

I was a husband to my wife
Now a widower for the rest of my life

Happy Birthday Joey
By Joeysguy

I hope this will get to my wife
Your gone but never from my life

A birthday poem to you my dear
I wish you will always be near

Just a few words I want to say
I love you so much only everyday   

I will send you a message on a balloon
Watch for it, look towards the moon

One day you will come for me
Until then happy birthday Joey

Guilt
By Joeysguy

That day when my wife passed out on the floor
I didn’t know the feelings I would endure

My wife laying unconscious, not a moan
I called for help yelling on the phone

I feel guilt that I may have failed my wife
I probably could have done more in her life

When I gave her clothing away
That was a hard and painful day

Over 46 years of wearing my wedding band
It was so hard to remove it from my hand

Both rings together on the same chain
Hanging from my neck doesn’t ease the pain

The rings were a symbol of love and a married life
Now the finger shows no visible marks of a marriage to my wife

I fear the loss of memory someday
Keeping my wife’s memory is something I pray

All the years of the life we built
Now in my thoughts I feel some guilt

I’ll always feel guilt of that last day
Could I have done more, I can’t say

The pain and guilt that I feel
That is something that will never heal

Every night I lay in bed
I face the pillow that use to hold my wife’s head

All my days and the tomorrows
They all end with sorrows

I wish my wife would stop watching over me
And just let my sleep disorder take me

From My Wife
By Joeysguy

Many times I have said
It’s my wife who puts the poems in my head

So I believe these words are from my wife
She is telling me something of our next life

Our golden years had never started
Since years ago when she departed

Up here we will have our golden years
Together again without any tears

When the flame moves on the cande you light
It’s her waving to me at night

Those strange sounds that I hear
It’s my wife that she’s near

When I’m playing an old song
I try to listen if she’s singing along

She see’s the tears coming from my eyes
Wishing I would stop and dry my eyes

Days End
By Joeysguy

Tomorrow will become a today
Today will become a yesterday

It feels like it was just a yesterday
Since my wife  passed away

With my wife I had much more yesterday
I lost my wife, now I have less today

That day I also should have passed away
One of my today’s will be my last day

Every tomorrow brings me closer to an end of my life
With another day that goes by, I’ll be with my wife

Closed Eyes
By Joeysguy

I close my eyes when I sleep
I open them in my dreams
Sleep for me is never deep

We close our eyes when we kiss
We open them with joy
And feel the bliss

We close our eyes when we die
We open them to see the way
Somebody will close their eyes to cry

The Kiss
By Joeysguy

Meeting for the first time under the moonlight
I leaned over and kissed her on that summer night

That kiss was in a loving way
It led to us seeing each other every day

That was how our feelings were started
I went into the relationship wholehearted

Skipping past the years that have gone by
To a time of now that brings a tear from my eye  

I saw her when I looked through the door
She was passed out on the bathroom floor

I grabbed the phone and called nine one one
The operator told me what must be done

I was giving her mouth to mouth with my breath  
Trying to revive her and hoping to keep her from death

The ambulance came and took her away
At the hospital she died that very day

I was with her as she laid on the table
I was broken and very unstable

It was so hard leaving her and walking away
The last kiss, I think it was that day

A Marine
By Joeysguy

This fellow at the age of twenty
A Marine he became to be

He was no different than any other Marine
He stood proud, he stood tall and he was lean  

He vowed
That he would make his family proud

After finishing his training he was hurt        
An accident left him bleeding, broken, and in the dirt

Was someone watching over him that day
People wishing him well with lots of kind words to say

Off to the hospital where doctors put him under the knife  
He had a few set backs, he’s learning new ways of life

He lost the ability as a Marine to go and fight
For a new career he has something else in sight

So many people’s hearts he had won    
Everyone is so proud he’s far from done

Not much matters when it comes to size
He still stands tall in our eyes

I know he has more to give and he’s not done
I know this, because he’s our grandson

We wish him much love
From one of us here and one of us from above

Going Home
By Joeysguy

I’ve heard it said that heaven is home
Is it true, is heaven considered home

If heaven is home I’ll be there one day
When will that day be I can’t really say

Lots of people there I will see
Only a few are waiting for me

I’ve had many dogs with me here
I guess I will see them up there

My mother is waiting and also my wife
I’ll be going home at the end of this life

Fear no more
By Joeysguy

I always thought of the day I would die
To say that I wasn’t afraid would be a lie

Since my wife is gone who I love and adore
So now to die I fear no more

Americans
By Joeysguy

Our founding fathers are probably turning over in their grave
From the way our present leaders behave
Our leaders are giving our country away    
They upset the American people most everyday  
With the new healthcare some people were offered a deal    
While some Americans can’t even pay for their next meal
This administration is giving away our country  
Foreigners sneak over our borders and could get amnesty
Our leaders seem to favor foreign people
Possibly more than the American people
The Government is failing at protecting our border States
Hate and uneasy is something this administration creates
Washington is slapping Americans in the face
To file a law suit against an American State is a disgrace
Our Constitution are the laws that govern our nation
Our forefathers wrote our Constitution with determination
We are the United States of America and we should never
Let any foreign country come between us, not ever
What’s happening to this country is a shame
This administration is mostly to blame
Our leaders think they know best
What they are causing is unrest
And shame on a President of the United States
If to do the right thing he hesitates

At What Cost
By Joeysguy

If you are going to a bar
Save lives, don’t drive your car

At what cost for that drink
Before you take it, stop and think

Just a bad choice that you could make
That bad choice will put lives at stake

With a life, someone could pay
The loss of life for your drunken day

Don’t use your seatbelt on your drunken day
Why should you live to walk away

So I ask, at what cost will that drink be
Just a few dollars to destroy a family

If you live you will  go to jail
Tell your kids where to send your mail

Driving drunk the cops will pull you over
Hopefully before you ****, so drive sober

P/S, Lets not forget about cell phone texts
While driving you could **** and cause wrecks

Please
By Joeysguy

What the word please means to me
It’s a word I hardly ever use
It’s a word that weakens me

To me I feel the word relates to beg
I don’t know which would be harder
To say please or eat a raw egg

I used the word very few times in my life
I used it more times in one day
when I asked to please save my wife

MY WIFE MY PRIZE
By Joeysguy

I asked my girl to be my wife
To be mine the rest of our life

Her father gave away the bride
Her mother was happy but cried

I took the oath of marriage that day
To love her in every way

On our wedding day I said I do
Forever I want to be with you

Not many men love the same wife
I did for more than half our life

For over 50 years we were together
She’s gone but I’ll be her guy forever  

Looking at my wife and into her eyes
What I see is my wife my prize

With all the love I had for my wife
It hurts that she was taken out of my life

I have to believe in an afterlife
A place where I can rejoin my wife

I want to believe so much
To again see and feel her touch

Moments in Time
By Joeysguy

For more than half of my life
I was married to my darling wife

Truly my first love was she    
I hope she still loves me

I loved and protected my wife
So much I would give my life

Some special moments we did share
It’s the time and emptiness now I fear

Right from the start
I was hers she owned my heart

In my daughters I can see my wife
But it doesn’t fill the void in my life

The painful days of December will be here
Her birthday and Christmas they share

January was the month she passed
How long will this pain last

Marriage
By Joeysguy
Why should a man marry
Not only your name will she carry
What about the love she has for you
You must have feelings for her to  
You can really make her heart sing
Ask her to marry you and give her a ring
It has to make you feel good that she will be in your heart
When she says yes and a new family you will start
You set the date then comes that day
Now that day is here and the words I do you both say
Now that she has your last name
Your wife and your kids will share something the same
Some days will probably go by
You will argue and you will make her cry
Stop to think don’t let bad words tear your love apart
It may just take a few kind words and kiss for a new start
In years to come you will feel good
The way a father and husband should
You will be proud your last name will carry on  
Your kids will be grown, get married and move on
Your kids will still call you dad
That’s a great feeling a great family is never bad
Don’t let things and time go by to fast
Try to make everything and every minute last

Gift of Light
By Joeysguy

All the years with my wife
She was a light in my life

Driving home and around a bend
She was my light at journeys end

Some things I did start
Giving her something from my heart

During the day and into the night
I burn a candle to her, it’s a gift of light

Friends
By Joeysguy

When we come to a meeting
We are welcomed with a warm greeting

We come together because of a loss and pain
At our meetings, always something to gain

We try to help a friend
With hope and talks right to the end

This is a place you may see tears
We all have those fears

Where here to help our heart and our mind
All the people here are so kind

We talk about our loves, the good and bad
Sometimes we may get very sad

We listen to what someone would say
Someone may cry and that’s okay

One of our own had started a group, BSG
Bereavement Social Group come and see

Life is to live and then we die
It’s those in betweens that can make us cry

Forever
By Joeysguy

My mind knows how long my wife’s been away
In my heart it feels like just a day

The meaning of closure to me
Is closing the door behind my wife and me

At night when I go to bed
I have thoughts in my head

If after I turn off the light
I should pass during the night

If I should pass during the day
The same words I would say

I wish it’s my wife that I see
Looking at me

I’ll be happy and calm
When she takes me by the arm

We’ll go off together
This time it will be forever

Filled Heart
By Joeysguy
It’s coming up on two years
My eyes still fill with tears

I keep thinking back at my life
Did I do all I could for my wife

When I met my future wife it was a new start
I found someone that filled my heart

My wife never asked for much
I loved her more with every touch

When I would touch her face
It was soft and delicate like a fine lace

When she passed, my heart was torn out
Sometimes I cry and I might even shout

At night when I go to bed
Thoughts of my wife fill my head

I would like to see a sign
That her love will forever be mine

How many times I’ve said I miss you
I wish I could again say the words I do

I love to dream of my wife
That’s the way I relive my life

I say to my wife if reincarnation is true
Go slow my love so I can catch up to you

A Second Chance
By Joeysguy

For so many years I had my wife
Now it’s sadness that fills my life

I miss that time we would caress
I miss the touch of tenderness

I talk to my wife every day  
Love is one of the words I say

I loved to smell my wife’s hair
I wish I had a lock of it here

Your gone and out of sight
To heaven you will be my shining light

At the end of my life
I will again be with my wife

In heaven again my wife and me
A second chance it will be

Scars of the Heart
By Joeysguy

At times it seems like no relief
We can suffer long with our grief

Will the heart ever mend
Will the pain ever end

The tears come from my eyes
But it’s my heart that cries

People ask how am I
They would know if they see me cry

From when my wife passed
I have scars of the heart that will last

My heart may heal after time goes by
The scars of my heart will be till I die

The Magic in Ones Life
By joeys guy

I believe people have some magic in their life
Mine started with meeting my wife

I would feel it just by her touching me
I felt how much more that we could be

That magic from my wife
Bringing three children into my life

I could see magic just looking into their eyes
So open and bright and full of surprise

Magic could be the day when they first crawl
Such amazement when they are so small

Magic can be when they try to talk
Or that stumble when trying to walk

Looking at pictures of what I had
Still a husband and father but sad

My wife’s loss was tragic
I lost her with her magic

If I could bring my wife’s magic to light
I would bring her into my dreams every night

Life does not have a happily ever after
I believe it’s in the life after

Everything I felt in her kiss
The magic through my body I miss

The feelings I use to feel
Looking back the magic was real

I don’t see much to the rest of my life
I lost something precious, my wife

Times Change                            
By Joeysguy

I was born in the year 1940
Growing up I was a little naughty

I was a little scared
To really be bad

We started to see many strangers
People reacted to different dangers  

My mother and her friends stopped the late night talks
People were being more careful during walks

My mother and friends started locking doors
We seen protective gates going up on the local stores

My family and I lived in New York City
Things became worse and not to pretty

Garbage thrown in the yard and the street
By people that were not clean or neat

Women could not walk by men without words
Men would make sounds like chirping birds

After a few years of worry for my kids and wife
We moved from the city and started a new life

Words of love
By Joeysguy

From heaven I wish my wife could see
The words of love that come from me

Out of my heart and into my head
Come the words I wish I had said

From my lips to my wife’s ears
Hear the words that bring my tears

Joey I will never forget
That day and how we met

You and I started as two
I look forward to again be with you

I don’t know how or when it will be
Together again just my darling and me

That Girl
By Joeysguy

That girl I loved from the start
She took over my heart

That girl was my lover
She was also my kids mother

That girl was my best friend
Right to the very end

That girl I love and adore
She is not here anymore  

That girl was my wife
And will be for the rest of my life

Thank You
By Joeysguy

I write my poems but I’m not a poet
I don’t understand poems and I know it

Here I am reading and trying to understand
This is hard for me, it’s much a demand

Most all my poems come from my heart
The poems are with love and stand apart

I post my poems for people to see
I know your comments are to help me

My past poems are fact and true
I appreciate your help and thank you

It’s in the Eyes
By Joeysguy

We can see different feelings in someone’s eyes
The pain and tears when a loved one dies

What’s to follow
Is sadness and sorrow

Not far behind are the fears
To go on alone for the following years

It takes time before we see happy eyes
A smile or laugh could be the mouth lies

God for a day
By Joeysguy

If I could be God for just a day
To do things my way

I would eliminate disease from the earth
So children would not be sick at birth

When children are healthy  
Parents feel wealthy

Children should have protection
Also learn the right direction

Women have inner beauty and love
They need attention from above

I would also save the past
So some memories and things could last

I probably won’t be God for a day
But I wish these would come true anyway

Girl
By Joeysguy

Why let yourself get pregnant and put a hold on your life
Why not wait till your older and become a wife.

Life could be better for you if you stay in school
Listen to your parents and follow their rule.

Life could pass you by if you become a young mother
You may lose your friends to another.

Why let a guy change the future or your life          
He may just leave you to go enjoy his life.

When the time comes and your baby is due.
Will that baby’s daddy be there for you.  

Will he support you and your child
Will he go to another girl and child.

Being married, Mrs. would be your proper title
Baby’s mama is what kind of title.    

Being called a baby’s mama in your life
Better sounding words are a mother and a wife.

Having a husband you could have a better life  
Think of your future as husband and wife.

Getting old
By Joeysguy

When I was young I never thought about getting old
The years have past and I still hate the cold

When I was young I didn’t ever think
My life could pass by in just a blink

Now I’m one of the old men
It’s a big change from way back when

Some days it can be hard to get dressed
It’s a little easier to get undressed

It can be hard to put on shoes
I also need to turn up the sound to hear the news

Driving can be hard for some of us
We give up the car and take the bus

What may be hardest is to go to bed with a friend
Hoping to make it to the end

Fathers
By Joeysguy

When you meet your girl and fall in love
It is do to cupid’s arrow shot from above

Your future should be in steps in life
You have fallen in love and asked her to be your wife

Your wife looks so pretty and it was a great marriage
When you have a child be proud when you’re pushing the carriage

As a man to make a child is easy
To turn your back and walk away is no less than ******

What a wonderful feeling it is in life
Being a good father and to love your wife

It is a great feeling when a child calls you daddy
It is heart breaking when a child asks do I have a daddy

It is hard enough on a child when a father dies
It is worse when the child has to grow up on lies

A father should do all he can for his family
Earn respect and love and to be the best he could be

Be a good man love your kids and love your wife
These are the best ingredients to make a good life

Empty Places
By Joeysguy

For many years I lived in a full house
Between kids, dogs, and my spouse

My wife and dogs are now gone
My kids have all moved on

I didn’t think I would ever lose my wife
Never thought about emptiness in my life

In the closets are empty hangers that I see
They can bring out the sadness that’s in me

Those hangers held the clothes of my wife
The clothes given away, now in someone else’s life

In restaurants I wait to be seated
Then the number one is repeated    
  
In the seats across from me
Is the empty space that I see

One empty side of the bed
The pillow still there that held her head

The smallest thing with the largest space
It’s my heart the most empty place

Paper Rose
By Joeysguy

Many years ago when I was short of money
Thinking of a gift to give my honey    

Something inexpensive, like a single rose
With the meaning and feeling that it shows

Just a couple of dollars I think that would be okay
As a gift from my heart for that day

In that single rose, that I bought
With my love being the thought
    
I have roses growing outside my house
In the memory and love to my spouse

From some of the thorns that are on the stems
My blood was drawn and looks like little gems

I need a rose that is so very light
It has to be special for a flight

I can now give her this kind of a rose
With all my love that it shows

The rose has to be without a thorn
So the balloon doesn’t burst while airborne  

Higher and higher to my wife it goes
A balloon that carries, a paper rose

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

Angel of Mine
By Joeysguy

I had written a poem called “Deaths Door”
My sleeping problem my wife did endure

From when I lost my spouse
It’s only the dog and I at the house

Before I go to bed I shut the light
Something happened to me one night

I felt a hand on my back waking me
Nobody but the dog here with me

It could have been a night I lost my breath
An angel may have kept me from death

That angel must be my wife
Still watching over my life

She watched over me when she was alive
She must still be helping me to survive
