Treasure of Man

Treasure of Man
By Michael A Gelb

Every man has the chance
To find love and romance

Having a family with your wife
That’s a treasure of a man’s life

Mine had blue eyes and blonde hair
A beautiful face with a smile to share

The three children we had
Made me proud to be a husband and a dad

Every man’s treasure is in front of his face
Make a good life at a slow pace

I take a deep breath and let out a sigh
To think how lucky was I

How Young We Were

How Young We Were
By Michael A Gelb

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 gain

I wish I new the end to my life
I miss so much not being with my wife

I look at pictures how young we were
That’s how I wish to be again with her

Words of Love

Words of love
By Michael A Gelb

From heaven I wish my wife could see
The words of love that come from me

Out of my heart and into my head
Come the words I wish I had said

From my lips to my wife’s ears
Hear the words that bring my tears

Joey I will never forget
That day and how we met

You and I started as two
I look forward to again be with you

I don’t know how or when it will be
Together again just my darling and me

My Wife My Prize

MY WIFE MY PRIZE
By Michael A Gelb

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

With all the love I had for my wife
It hurts that she was taken out of my life

I have to believe in an afterlife
A place where I can rejoin my wife

I want to believe so much
To again see and feel her touch

God for a Day

God for a day
By Michael A Gelb

If I could be God for just a day
To do things my way

I would eliminate disease from the earth
So children would not be sick at birth

When children are healthy
Parents feel wealthy

Children should have protection
Also learn the right direction

Women have inner beauty and love
They need attention from above

I would also save the past
So some memories and things could last

I probably won’t be God for a day
But I wish these would come true anyway

Levels of Pain

Levels of pain
By Michael A Gelb

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

A Meals on Wheels Volunteer

A Meals on Wheels Volunteer
By Michael A Gelb

We give our time and use our wheels
When we deliver hot and cold meals

Bringing our elderly and disabled a meal to eat
We go to homes on many a street

We do this to show we care
It’s a good feeling to volunteer

In the winter months we never know
Sorry when we miss because of snow

This can be our way of thanking you
The elderly, the disabled and shut-ins to

For what we do we receive no pay
Just a thank you would be okay
