Blue Eyes

Blue Eyes
By Joeysguy

I fell for a blonde who had blue eyes

I married that blonde with the blue eyes


Having children was a real joy

We had two girls and a boy


I always thought I would be the first to die

I didn’t think she would leave me to cry


I carry a small vial that has a chain

The contents is some of my pain


With the memories of my wife

Just a little something from her life


I have a clip on my money

With a picture of who was my honey


In a shirt pocket is my cell phone              

When opened my wife’s picture is shown


I also carry pictures of my wife

These show her in a younger life


Now in heaven is that blonde with the blue eyes

Which now helps to fill those blue skies


To the blonde with blue eyes I want to say

I carry your love with me everyday

So Close, So Far

So Close, So Far
By Joeysguy


So close is a husband and wife

Closer than most things in life


I gave the rest of my heart away

Given to her on our wedding day


From the day she became my bride

All the years we were side by side


The beauty that I had in my life

It was in the face of my wife


She’s in my heart and in my head

But no longer shares my bed


In those times when I would cry

Thoughts of her is the reason why


She’s always been the strength in my life

So much love I have for my wife


We took an oath as husband and wife

With death, it’s now in stone for all of life


She was as close as someone can be

Now in heaven she is so far from me


She’s still my girl, and will always be

For the love of her that I feel inside me



　

　

　

　

　

　

　

　
　

The Honey To Do List

The Honey To Do List
By joeys guy



Honey here is your to do list

It was written after that first time we kissed




I know you are that special one

Who would follow the list till it’s done




Follow the list in it’s order

Do not change, do not alter




The first thing you will do

Is to ask me to marry you




You will love me as I love you

With the promise of a love that’s true



You will give me children, maybe two

I know we will be loved by you




Be a good husband to your wife

You will keep us together for life




If I should be the first to die

Make it short if you do cry




Go on with the rest of your life

Remember me as your wife




With a new honey to do list I’m waiting here

Don’t hurry, I love you dear

Angels Around Us

Angels Around Us
By Joeysguy

My first Angel was small and bright

She did glow with her very own light

She stood on the top of our Christmas tree

Placed up there by my wife or me


My wife gave birth to our little three

Like little Angels they looked to me

      Those little Angels they mean so much

Just holding them and feeling their touch

         I feel an Angel is watching over my life

I believe it to be the spirit of my wife



She watches over me when I’m a sleep in bed

I have felt her hand on my back or my head



I believe Heavens Angels are always here

We may not know when they come near



Some of the Angels come to take us away

Because of sickness or age someone might say



When our life comes to an end

It’s an Angel that Heaven will send

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

Holding Back A Tear

Holding Back A Tear
By Joeysguy
At the bereavement group that I attend
It’s a place we don’t have to pretend
We hear stories of emotion and pain
Pretending here has nothing to gain
People come here in a sad way
Because of a life that had slipped away
Some people sit here with tears in their eyes
We all know that pain of when a love dies
With the stories that we hear
It’s hard to hold back a tear
Everyone here has lost a love
Taken from us to the heaven above
It’s always hard to keep a dry eye
Being here any of us may cry
We heard of a rock giving strength in ones life
For me it’s this group and the poems to my wife
The feeling of normal was asked of me
That normal in my life will never again be
People outside can act different as we know
We may hold back our feelings so as not to show
So this is the place we can be true
To ourselves and to each of you

Which Way to Heaven

Which Way to Heaven
By Joeysguy




My wife accepted the little that we had

Even those times that were really bad




She raised our kids, cats, dogs and also me

So as my hero it’s my wife I see




She would do things that made her strain

But she kept quiet about some of her pain




We were together for many years

Now alone I try to hold back the tears




Some days are harder to move on

So much is missing, so much is gone




With love for my wife I would always stare

Now it’s only pictures that I have here




I find myself rubbing some pictures with my hand

Wishing, just wishing to feel her hand




Thinking about the rest of my life

Which way to heaven and my wife




I wish I could hear my wife say

I’m here, take my hand heaven is this way

　

　

The Magic In Ones Life

The Magic in Ones Life
By joeys guy




I believe people have some magic in their life

Mine started with meeting my wife


I would feel it just by her touching me

I felt how much more that we could be


That magic from my wife

Bringing three children into my life


I could see magic just looking into their eyes

So open and bright and full of surprise


Magic could be the day when they first crawl

Such amazement when they are so small



Magic can be when they try to talk

Or that stumble when trying to walk


Looking at pictures of what I had

Still a husband and father but sad


My wife’s loss was tragic

I lost her with her magic


If I could bring my wife’s magic to light

I would bring her into my dreams every night


Life does not have a happily ever after

I believe it’s in the life after


Everything I felt in her kiss

The magic through my body I miss


The feelings I use to feel

Looking back the magic was real


I don’t see much to the rest of my life

I lost something precious, my wife
