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...

old School
Old School
By joeys guy
I remember lessons from the old school
It was a code an unwritten rule
As a male I would get to my feet
To give the elderly or a woman the seat
When taking a girl out for a day
As the guy I would always pay
Music was understood and had meaning
A lot of songs today sounds like screaming
Entertainers wore costumes or dressed in clothes
Today so much body they expose
You didn’t always have to lock doors
No fences had to protect stores
As a young kid I played outside
Strangers...

The Magic in Ones Life
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

With Pride
With Pride
By Joeysguy
It’s so dark in here, it must be night
I see an opening, I can see some light
Why are these people pulling on me
I guess out there I should be
I’m upside down, you hit me and I cried
That hurt and left me teary-eyed
Who’s this lady you put me alongside
Who’s this man staring with so much pride
Are they someone that I should know
When they leave will I also go
This lady says her name is mom
She puts out her hands and wants me to come
The man is called dad
They are so nice and...

Could-a, Would-a, Should-a
Could-a, Would-a, Should-a
By joeys guy
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...

Blue Eyes
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

A Letter to my Wife
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...

Michael
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

Which Way To Heaven
Which Way to Heaven
By Joeysguy
My wife accepted the little that we had
Even those times that were really bad
She raised our kids, cats, dogs and also me
So as my hero it’s my wife I see
She would do things that made her strain
But she kept quiet about some of her pain
We were together for many years
Now alone I try to hold back the tears
Some days are harder to move on
So much is missing, so much is gone
With love for my wife I would always stare
Now it’s only pictures that I have here
I find...

The Honey To Do List
The Honey To Do List
By joeys guy
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

Paper Rose
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...

In Dreams
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...
