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

A Fathers Right
By Joeysguy

Many times between my children and I
We wouldn’t always see eye to eye

They would tell me when I’m wrong
Or sometimes I might take to long

They sometimes get mad when I but in
I remind them that where all kin

I tell them in my way
I love them every day

It’s a fathers right
To love his children with all his might

A Letter to my Wife, Dear Joey
By Joeysguy
I lived with my mother for part of my life
Then I married and you became my wife

We both repeated the words I do
My promise to always love you

With the wedding band and saying I Do
My heart and soul I gave to you

On the finger of your left hand
You wore a white gold band

I would trade all my future days
For just one more chance of our yesterdays

My love now for you feels like so much more
I’m sorry I didn’t know it before

Looking at your pictures your beautiful face
All those loving words that I misplaced

For many years I knew what life was to be
Now I don’t, since its only me

I’m getting older and have a fear
That I may forget for whom I care

Our 51st anniversary is coming soon
Look for a note inside the balloon

I loved you then, I love you now, I’ll love you tomorrow
I write this with tears and sorrow

Till the end of days
With Love always
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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

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

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.
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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

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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
Angels Around Us
By Joeysguy

My first Angel was small and bright
She did glow with her very own light

She stood on the top of our Christmas tree
Placed up there by my wife or me

My wife gave birth to our little three
Like little Angels they looked to me
      
Those little Angels they mean so much
Just holding them and feeling their touch
        
I feel an Angel is watching over my life
I believe it to be the spirit of my wife

She watches over me when I’m a sleep in bed
I have felt her hand on my back or my head

I believe Heavens Angels are always here
We may not know when they come near

Some of the Angels come to take us away
Because of sickness or age someone might say

When our life comes to an end
It’s an Angel that Heaven will send
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
A Special Flight
By joeys guy


This small and special hot air balloon
It will be leaving sometime soon

When the flight is full a bell will ring
That will be when you hear an Angel sing

Everyone enters into the basket
Heaven will be the exit

We take small groups of one hundred and eleven
We only go to Heaven

This flight has no age limit
For this trip any age can get on it

To take this trip you must have past away
Something happened that you died this very day

I’m sorry that you are on this flight
We take you to the light

You might meet someone that you once knew
Like someone who loved you

We may have lived for some years alone
I don’t believe that we ever die alone
  
We take this trip up to Heavens space
This would be the final resting place

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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
Bandit
By Joeysguy

That first day he took his own room
He doesn’t want anyone in there
Especially to sweep with a broom

From day one he’s been housebroken
He barks at me like crazy
If he were human he would be outspoken

When it comes to rodents he is daring
He’s gotten slower and other losses  
One being his hearing

He has lost some of his sight
He won’t go down the stairs
I have to turn on a light

About his nose for him to smell
When I take out food
It’s like I rang a dinner bell

He won’t leave me out of his sight
He follows me around the house
He must be with me day and night

He likes outside in the cold
He dislikes summer
My dog now at 15 years old

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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
Children
By Joeysguy

I can only write this from a male side
As a husband and father with pride
After a man and a woman say the words I do
You may be thinking of children to
After your wife gets pregnant thinking of a girl or boy
At the end of the term you will have a bundle of joy
Children need love and care so does your wife
Whatever the cost from your own life
Take care of your wife, and your children also
With a great deal of love and support they will grow
A good way to write your future is in your name
Treat them right and good and they will do the same
Children are what we need
without children no reason to succeed
Lost money, dropped candy you can replace
How do you do wrong and look into your child’s face
Do good things treat your family well and be proud
Your children will love you and see you glow in a crowd
Children are beautiful and fragile and small
With your help and love they will grow strong and tall
You should protect the children from that first day
Your children should be loved and should grow up okay
If you’re a good father as good as you can be
Your children should be as proud of you as they can be
Time can pass by so fast like in the blink of an eye
Before you know it time will pass by
Your children will carry you into the future
Your children are your future
Joeysguy Aug 2014
Christmas Eve
By Joeysguy

We would hide presents through the year
All around the house every where  

That night we said, kids it’s time for bed
Let thoughts of Santa fill your head

I helped wrap gifts with my wife
To put happiness in our kids life
            
Under the tree went the gifts we had
Some from Santa, some from mom and dad

Christmas eve was such a joy
Putting together a bike or toy

I miss those Christmas eve nights
My wife, little kids and a tree with lights

For me now on December 24
Christmas eve it’s not the same anymore
Joeysguy Aug 2014
Christmas Lights
By Joeysguy

My son lives in Florida with his spouse
I was visiting them at their house

On my last day in the warm sunlight
He was outside hanging a Christmas light

I walked outside and my eyes started to tear
Because my wife is no longer here

I always disliked hanging Christmas lights
Early comes the winter days and nights

My wife would always give me directions
On how to hang the decorations

I now miss hearing my wife say
No don’t do it that way

I didn’t always take her advice
To hear her now would really be nice
Joeysguy Aug 2014
Christmas past      
By Joeysguy

We always had a Christmas tree
My wife would decorate it without me

So many gifts by the tree
No empty space could you see

Our little ones would crawl all around
They would try climbing the gift mound

Year after year on Christmas morning
Kids tearing open gifts and I’m yawning
  
The kids woke early on Christmas day
We told the kids your older so go away

With the years going by
We could sleep longer my wife and I

Now since its just me
No more do I need a Christmas tree

My kids now grown and they see
What its like to do the Christmas tree
Joeysguy Jul 2016
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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
Could-a, Would-a, Should-a
By Joeysguy

These are words that some people would say
These are words in someone’s thoughts everyday

Could-a, Would-a, Should-a in someone’s mind
These are words that can be very unkind

Especially if we lose a loved one from our life
These words were unkind to me when I lost my wife

I have asked myself, was there more I could-a done
Was there anything more I should-a done

These are words that can tear us apart
Letting them into our mind and heart

Thinking of arguments, I should-a gave in
Why did I always try to win

At that last moment I should-a held her so very tight
So that the Angels would-a had a tough fight

People say there was nothing I could-a done
It’s what my wife should-a done
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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
Joeysguy Jul 2016
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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
Deaths Door
By Joeysguy

Every night I go to bed,
I could have one last thought in my head.

I have sleep apnea where I can lose my breath,
One night it could be the cause of my death.

There was a time my wife would hear my gasping for air,
My wife would roll me over or wake me out of fear.

Now alone without my wife,
Any night could be an end to my life.

I’m not afraid if I should die,
We will be together again my wife and I.

No one to hear me gasp or hear me snore,
No one here to keep me from deaths door.
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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
Joeysguy Jul 2016
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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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.

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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
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
Joeysguy Jul 2016
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
Joeysguy Jul 2016
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

Happy Valentine’s Day Joey
By Joeysguy

February fourteen twenty eleven
To my wife who’s in heaven

Saying I love you which you already know
A few other ways that I can show

I will be sending a message balloon your way
Love and kisses are a few words to say

I will light a candle for you dear  
Another way to show you I still care

You do know how much you are missed
You were the first love I kissed

I miss you my love so very much
In my dreams I hope to feel your touch

Signed with love from me
Happy Valentine’s Day Joey

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
Joeysguy Aug 2014
Healing Circle
By Joeysguy

First thing is an explanation
We do a short meditation.

We all come together and gather around
We join hands so we are bound.

While we all sit in a chair
Words are said of a short prayer.

In the center is a candle with a little light
The room is darkened with little sight.

With our hands in our laps and a light music sound
We have our feet flat on the ground.

A practitioner talks of healing for us and family
Also friends, strangers and people we may never see.

The laying on of hands may help with pain and stress
Maybe other problems such as loneliness.  

It can help in many ways maybe clarification of mind  
Everybody here goes out of their way to be kind.

Afterward is a brief discussion about the session
We will discuss what ever you mention.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
