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
