Why I go to Bereavement Groups
Why I go to bereavement groups
I had a loss in my life
I lost a mother and also a wife
It hurts so badly when people die and they are gone
I was told a bereavement group might help me to move on
We sit and we talk about our lost love
How we miss them and we know they’re in the heavens above
We all can come together because of the pain we all share
We can relate to each other with passion and how much we care
Talking about the past, which now is a memory in our life
Were not sure of our future that will be for the rest of...

Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday Joey
I hope this will get to my wife
Your gone but never from my life
A birthday poem to you my dear
I wish you will always be near
Just a few words I want to say
I love you so much only everyday
I will send you a message on a balloon
Watch for it, look towards the moon
One day you will come for me
Until then happy birthday Joey
I hope this will get to my wife

Watch for it, look towards the moon
One day you will come for me
Until then happy birthday Joey

Healing Circle
Healing Circle
First thing is an explanation
We do a short meditation.
We all come together and gather around
We join hands so we are bound.
While we all sit in a chair
Words are said of a short prayer.
In the center is a candle with a little light
The room is darkened with little sight.
With our hands in our laps and a light music sound
We have our feet flat on the ground.
A practitioner talks of healing for us and family
Also friends, strangers and people we may never see.
The laying...

Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve
We would hide presents through the year
All around the house every where
That night we said, kids it’s time for bed
Let thoughts of Santa fill your head
I helped wrap gifts with my wife
To put happiness in our kids life
Under the tree went the gifts we had
Some from Santa, some from mom and dad
Christmas eve was such a joy
Putting together a bike or toy
I miss those Christmas eve nights
My wife, little kids and a tree with lights
For me now on December 24
Christmas eve...
We would hide presents through the year

Let thoughts of Santa fill your head

Some from Santa, some from mom and dad
Christmas eve was such a joy
Putting together a bike or toy

My wife, little kids and a tree with lights

Bandit
Bandit
That first day he took his own room
He doesn’t want anyone in there
Especially to sweep with a broom
From day one he’s been housebroken
He barks at me like crazy
If he were human he would be outspoken
When it comes to rodents he is daring
He’s gotten slower and other losses
One being his hearing
He has lost some of his sight
He won’t go down the stairs
I have to turn on a light
About his nose for him to smell
When I take out food
It’s like I rang a dinner bell
He won’t leave me out...

Gift of Light
Gift of Light
All the years with my wife
She was a light in my life
Driving home and around a bend
She was my light at journeys end
Some things I did start
Giving her something from my heart
During the day and into the night
I burn a candle to her, it’s a gift of light
All the years with my wife
She was a light in my life
Driving home and around a bend
She was my light at journeys end
Some things I did start
Giving her something from my heart
During the day and into the night
I burn a candle to her, it’s a gift of light

Forever
Forever
My mind knows how long my wife’s been away
In my heart it feels like just a day
The meaning of closure to me
Is closing the door behind my wife and me
At night when I go to bed
I have thoughts in my head
If after I turn off the light
I should pass during the night
If I should pass during the day
The same words I would say
I wish it’s my wife that I see
Looking at me
I’ll be happy and calm
When she takes me by the arm
We’ll go off together
This time it will be forever
My mind knows how long my wife’s been away
In my heart it feels like just a day
The meaning of closure to me
Is closing the door behind my wife and me
At night when I go to bed
I have thoughts in my head
If after I turn off the light
I should pass during the night
If I should pass during the day
The same words I would say
I wish it’s my wife that I see
Looking at me
I’ll be happy and calm
When she takes me by the arm
We’ll go off together
This time it will be forever

That Girl
That Girl
That girl I loved from the start
She took over my heart
That girl was my lover
She was also my kids mother
That girl was my best friend
Right to the very end
That girl I love and adore
She is not here anymore
That girl was my wife
And will be for the rest of my life
That girl I loved from the start
She took over my heart
That girl was my lover
She was also my kids mother
That girl was my best friend
Right to the very end
That girl I love and adore
She is not here anymore
That girl was my wife
And will be for the rest of my life

Time In A Bottle
Time in a bottle
If it were only possible to have bottled the past
To seal it so that time could last
My past had many good years
A family life I had no tears
And now to open that bottle in this part of my life
Instead of tears have more time with my wife
If it were only possible to have bottled the past
To seal it so that time could last
My past had many good years
A family life I had no tears
And now to open that bottle in this part of my life
Instead of tears have more time with my wife

Why I Volunteer at Meals on Wheels
Why I Volunteer at Meals on Wheels
Why I volunteer at Meals on Wheels,
I do it to help people receive meals.
I had to get a photo id
This is for the people’s safety
At first I thought of it as just something to do
After that first day I realized that wasn’t true
I deliver a meal to the elderly and I do it with care
Some of the elderly may be in a wheelchair
The hot food is carried in a hot insulated bag
The cold food is carried in a cold insulated bag
It’s a good feeling to volunteer
The people appreciate...

Making Wishes
Making Wishes
I take a penny and toss it in the well
Then make a wish and I can’t tell
If I see a shooting star in the sky
I make a wish for my wife and I
If I have chicken with a wishbone
This would be for two, I live alone
No more candles on a birthday cake
No more wishes can I make
Making wishes that my wife could be
Together again with me
I take a penny and toss it in the well
Then make a wish and I can’t tell
If I see a shooting star in the sky
I make a wish for my wife and I
If I have chicken with a wishbone
This would be for two, I live alone
No more candles on a birthday cake
No more wishes can I make
Making wishes that my wife could be
Together again with me

Cycle of my Life
The Cycle of My Life
The Cycle of my Life
January fifth was the month I lost my wife
February brings Valentines Day
A gift with love I did say.
April seventh is our Anniversary
The month and day she married me.
April brings Easter Sunday
May brings Mother’s Day.
October thirty first is Halloween
When kids would dress in costumes to be seen.
November brings Thanksgiving and is the fourth Thursday
December eighteen is my wife’s birthday.
December twenty fifth is Christmas Day
It was my wife’s...
