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

Happy Valentine’s Day Joey

Happy Valentine’s Day Joey
By Michael A Gelb

February fourteen twenty eleven
To my wife who’s in heaven

Saying I love you which you already know
A few other ways that I can show

I will be sending a message balloon your way
Love and kisses are a few words to say

I will light a candle for you dear
Another way to show you I still care

You do know how much you are missed
You were the first love I kissed

I miss you my love so very much
In my dreams I hope to feel your touch

Signed with love from me
Happy Valentine’s Day Joey

A Second Chance

A Second Chance
By Michael A Gelb

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
By Michael A Gelb

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

Rhyming Words

Rhyming Words

Anyone ever notice how some words rhyme
Like if you can’t do the time don’t do the crime

Why do some words rhyme so well
I wouldn’t mind if some poems could sell

A man and woman could talk marriage
And one day they may push a carriage

After being married and have a spouse
It’s a shame when some become a louse

If you want a good life
Be kind and nice to your wife

And about the one you call honey
Him or her may relate to money

If you do get a divorce
You may realize your loss

When we get old we will die
And probably someone will cry

In some cases some have died
In the same case some have survived

We might feel some kind of relief
Someone dies and we may feel grief

We donate to help someone to live
Most of us feel good after we give
