A Second Chance
A Second Chance
For so many years I had my wife
Now it’s sadness that fills my life
I miss that time we would caress
I miss the touch of tenderness
I talk to my wife every day
Love is one of the words I say
I loved to smell my wife’s hair
I wish I had a lock of it here
Your gone and out of sight
To heaven you will be my shining light
At the end of my life
I will again be with my wife
In heaven again my wife and me
A second chance it will be
For so many years I had my wife
Now it’s sadness that fills my life
I miss that time we would caress
I miss the touch of tenderness
I talk to my wife every day
Love is one of the words I say
I loved to smell my wife’s hair
I wish I had a lock of it here
Your gone and out of sight
To heaven you will be my shining light
At the end of my life
I will again be with my wife
In heaven again my wife and me
A second chance it will be

Scars of the Heart
Scars of the Heart
At times it seems like no relief
We can suffer long with our grief
Will the heart ever mend
Will the pain ever end
The tears come from my eyes
But it’s my heart that cries
People ask how am I
They would know if they see me cry
From when my wife passed
I have scars of the heart that will last
My heart may heal after time goes by
The scars of my heart will be till I die
At times it seems like no relief
We can suffer long with our grief
Will the heart ever mend
Will the pain ever end
The tears come from my eyes
But it’s my heart that cries
People ask how am I
They would know if they see me cry
From when my wife passed
I have scars of the heart that will last
My heart may heal after time goes by
The scars of my heart will be till I die

Promises, Promises
Promises, Promises
A promise with saying I do
Back in the year nineteen sixty two
A promise of love to my wife
She is my love for all my life
A promise to love her forever
Will I love again, I think never
A promise with saying I do
Back in the year nineteen sixty two
A promise of love to my wife
She is my love for all my life
A promise to love her forever
Will I love again, I think never

American Brave
American Brave
To our brave for over all the years
For you some of us have shed tears.
To you servicemen and women, who served and still serve
I say thank you, which you greatly deserve.
You fight to protect our American way
You put your life on the line everyday.
You protect the colors of our flag
Some of you come home in a body bag.
You protect our flag of stripes and stars
Some of you come home with battle scars.
Included are the people of 9/11 who died
The volunteers, the relatives and the people cried.

A Fathers Right
A Fathers Right
Many times between my children and I
We wouldn’t always see eye to eye
They would tell me when I’m wrong
Or sometimes I might take to long
They sometimes get mad when I but in
I remind them that where all kin
I tell them in my way
I love them every day
It’s a fathers right
To love his children with all his might
Many times between my children and I
We wouldn’t always see eye to eye
They would tell me when I’m wrong
Or sometimes I might take to long
They sometimes get mad when I but in
I remind them that where all kin
I tell them in my way
I love them every day
It’s a fathers right
To love his children with all his might

Play Ball Softball
Play Ball (Softball)
My daughters use to play softball
I wish I could have been to them all
Since my daughters don’t play anymore
I don’t have a team to cheer for
I do watch some games on the TV
The girls have lots of great energy
When the girls are in the dugout
You can hear them cheer and shout
You can hear them chant and scream
To win a world series starts as a dream
For one team to lose comes sorrow
And they may not have a game tomorrow
I’ve seen many girls being sad
I can’t recall any of...

My Wife My Prize
MY WIFE MY PRIZE
I asked my girl to be my wife
To be mine the rest of our life
Her father gave away the bride
Her mother was happy but cried
I took the oath of marriage that day
To love her in every way
On our wedding day I said I do
Forever I want to be with you
Not many men love the same wife
I did for more than half our life
For over 50 years we were together
She’s gone but I’ll be her guy forever
Looking at my wife and into her eyes
What I see is my wife my prize

Graduation
Alex
Graduation day comes every year
With joy, happiness and even a tear
You’re a tall slender red head
As pretty as can be and with that said
Your getting older and you will leave
We say goodbye and in you we believe
How proud we all are
With schooling and study you will go far
With love in our heart
A new venture you will start
Stay safe and be careful being on your own
We love and will miss you even if your grown

Remembering
Remembering Joey
I think I loved her from that first day we kissed
Now I try remembering all the things I had missed.
One day I said to my wife you know you’re hot
Her response back to me was, no, no I’m not.
I said yes you are, I know because you’re my wife
I love you darling more than life.
I guess we were lucky when she realized I was the right guy
She must have seen something when she looked in my eye.
Many times the kids had us challenge each other
I was always proud she was my kid’s mother.
Money or material items are things you can...

Our First Pregnancy
Our First Pregnancy
When we were young and before she was my wife
I didn’t know she was going to be the love of my life
I miss those special times that we had
I miss all the times so very bad
I don’t know where I found a talent to write poems late in my life
It must come from the woman I loved who was my wife
Over the years we have had arguments and called each other names
Like little kids playing silly games
In a picture of my wife the sun shines in her hair and makes...

My Blue Eyed Blonde
My Blue Eyed Blonde
I’m just a man with a broken heart trying to show love
To the woman who I lost and is now in the heaven above
I think back when we met we shared a kiss
Now the days go by I think of my wife who I terribly miss
Life seems so very unfair
I was older but it’s my wife who is not here
All the years we were married I gave her all that I could
I gave her all my love and my heart the way a husband should
When special days and some holidays come near
It...

My Memories
My Memories
I was thinking of buying a new house
So I’m here with my son and his spouse
Sitting outback looking up to the sky
Hoping to see something go bye
Wishing for a sign to see
Something from my wife to me
To move into an empty and cold house
I would leave behind memories of my spouse
I don’t want to leave those memories behind
More memories in the house then in my mind
When my kids were small
They would play and mark up a wall
I see memories on every wall
Where my wife painted...
