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...

Prints of Love
Prints of Love
By (Joeysguy) Michael A Gelb
Loving someone from the start
Leaves an imprint in your heart
That imprint of someone you love
In your mind of someone who’s now up above
Maybe something that they left behind
Brings back memories in your mind
That someone who passed and left a mark
An imprint we can even see in the dark
Maybe just something we found
It might just be a foot print on the ground
The memories of time that has passed by
It might make you tear up and even cry
Just a hand print...

Yes It's Love
Yes It’s Love
By Michael A Gelb (Joeysguy)
When you can’t take your eyes off of someone
Did their face glow like the sun
On the first time that your hands did touch
Did your body tingle and you felt that inner rush
After that first time that you kissed
That separation, that feeling of something missed
That special someone is always in your mind
You don’t want to leave them far behind
Every time that person is around
Do you feel your heart pound
Your heart races so very fast
It’s a feeling that you want to last...

At What Cost
At what cost
By Michael A Gelb (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...

Why
Why
By (Joeysguy) Michael A Gelb
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, kill or just fight
Some only care about their belief
They care nothing about loss...

Guilt
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...

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

What Some Men Can’t See
What Some Men Can’t See
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
For years it’s been said that love is blind
Probably meant with men in mind

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

Getting Old
Getting old
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...

Going Home
Going Home
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
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
