Helen's Daughter

Helen’s Daughter
By Joeysguy



Helen, Since your daughter is back with you

This writing is long overdue



When your daughter became my wife

I also became her protector in life



She developed heart problems like you

And died because of it too




I feel I failed to keep her alive

I’m sorry that she didn’t survive



Lots of my memories bring out my tears

But I wouldn’t trade away any of those years



Being with her on that very last day

That’s the time I wish I could trade away




Will you watch over her with care

Hold on to her till the day that I get there




She has given me some special days

With balloons and candles I show some loving ways




I never new how empty I could be

Until your daughter passed and left me




I was a husband to my wife

Now a widower for the rest of my life




　

　

　

　

Could-a, Would-a, Should-a

Could-a, Would-a, Should-a
By joeys guy




These are words that some people would say

These are words in someone’s thoughts everyday




Could-a, Would-a, Should-a in someone’s mind

These are words that can be very unkind



Especially if we lose a loved one from our life

These words were unkind to me when I lost my wife




I have asked myself, was there more I could-a done

Was there anything more I should-a done




These are words that can tear us apart

Letting them into our mind and heart




Thinking of arguments, I should-a gave in

Why did I always try to win




At that last moment I should-a held her so very tight

So that the Angels would-a had a tough fight




People say there was nothing I could-a done

It’s what my wife should-a done
