A Marine
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...

Ways To An End
Ways To An End
By Joeysguy
On the day that I lost my wife
I stopped caring about my own life
Because of my sleep disorder it may happen in bed
I might stop breathing and wind up dead
A car going through the stop sign onto my street from Squire
That could be another way that I could expire
Maybe from pains in my chest
And I go to the hospital for a test
Or the next time I fall off the ladder on my head
The EMT comes and says that I’m dead
Or just one of those big trees
When it falls under a winters breeze ...

When the Light Goes Out
When The Light Goes Out
By Joeysguy
Lighting a candle helps me to see more
I see things I didn’t see before
Just little things that I couldn’t see
Some now have meaning to me
In the stillness of air, why does the flame flicker
It moves from side to side and looks bigger
I can feel the warmth of the candle and see it glow
As the wax melts the flame would grow
When day ends and night falls
The candles shadow is on the walls
I light the candles for my wife
Another way of honoring our life

Reflections
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
