POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Heart
Heart
(This is different for me words not rhyming)
I sit at my computer staring at the screen
Looking back at me is this beautiful slender blonde with blue eyes
It’s the woman I was married to for so many years
For all our years her hands were up and between them she held my heart
Her hands are now empty and down at her side
Now that my heart is back inside it feels pain

Filled Heart
Filled Heart
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

Life's Unfair
Life’s Unfair
A husband and wife grow old together
You think and hope it will last forever
When you hear of children getting hurt
You hope it’s only a little fall in the dirt
So many accidents happen because of a drunk driver
Why is the drunk the only survivor
Parents hurt the children they love
Men hurt the women they should love
Some rich and famous do wrong and get a pass
Up and up goes the price for gas
The elderly get mugged and beat
Some people are hurt and left lying in the street
Women and...

Levels of Pain
Levels of Pain
Pain at a level of one
It’s mild and almost none
Some pain levels can match
Like a splinter and a scratch
A fall or a broken bone
Can make a person yell or moan
If you gain some weight
That can be a painful state
Even at the level of a ten
Pain differs between women and men
The death of a love has tears
That’s the worst and can last many years
Pain at a level of one
It’s mild and almost none
Some pain levels can match
Like a splinter and a scratch
A fall or a broken bone
Can make a person yell or moan
If you gain some weight
That can be a painful state
Even at the level of a ten

The death of a love has tears
That’s the worst and can last many years

How Young We Were
How Young We Were
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...

Keno Baby
Keno Baby
My wife and I liked to play keno
Just about every weekend we would go
She was pregnant and due any day
Over an hour’s ride each way
Other players would say
Your going to give birth today
We got home and went to bed
It’s that time my wife had said
Her water broke on the floor
Our first was born in nineteen sixty four
It was almost a maybe
That we had a keno baby

Keep Them Safe
Keep Them Safe
I was born in New York City
It wasn’t safe nor was it pretty
That’s where I spent my young adult life
I realized it wasn’t safe for my children or my wife
There was always that threat of danger
I didn’t want my family victimized by a stranger
I packed them up and sent them to a New Jersey town
We bought a house on a street that part of the name is brown
Life went well and my kids are now grown
All my kids now have a family and house of their own

Heaven's Gate
Heavens Gate
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
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

Joey's Guy
Joey’s guy
In 1962 my girlfriend changed my life
When she said I do and became my wife
My girlfriend taught me how to kiss
From girlfriend to wife to someone I terribly miss
We were married and brought together
I wanted us to be as one forever
We had two daughters and a son
After three children we were done
At times we use to take the kids to the park
It was something we didn’t do after dark
My wife passed without a goodbye
And to this day I could still cry
I look at pictures of my wife
That’s...

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...

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

Fear no More
Fear no more
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
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
