To My Joey Happy Anniversary
On April 7th these words were said do I take this woman to be my wife
I said yes for the rest of my life
...
Wedding Bands
I placed a ring on her left hand
A plain white gold wedding band
With all my love this ring is from me
I also wore a ring for people to see
...
Life’s Unfair
A husband and wife grow old together
You think and hope it will last forever
...
To My Joey And My Mother
Mothers are a gift from the heavens above
All through life they share their love
...
Play Ball (Softball)
My daughters use to play softball
I wish I could have been to them all
...
Could-a, Would-a, Should-a
By joeysguy
These are words that some people would say
...
Joey Honor My Wife
For so many years she was my wife
Now she is just a memory in my life
...
Christmas past
We always had a Christmas tree
My wife would decorate it without me
...
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
...
Heart
I sit at my computer staring at the screen
Looking back at me is this beautiful slender blonde with blue eyes
...
How Young We Were
My wife’s final day she lost the bout
At the hospital I collapsed my legs gave out
...
Keep Them Safe
I was born in New York City
It wasn’t safe nor was it pretty
...
Moments in Time
For more than half of my life
I was married to my darling wife
...
Girl
Why let yourself get pregnant and put a hold on your life
Why not wait till your older and become a wife.
...
Joey Space For Me
I loved my wife and I still do with all my heart
Now that she is gone in my chest is missing a big part
...
Times Change
I was born in the year 1940
Growing up I was a little naughty
...
Trigger
What is the meaning for the word trigger
To me the meaning is some what bigger
...
Unfinished life
Joey was the girl that I married
For the years my name she carried
...
When I met Joey she was 15 and I was 17. We were married when she was 19 and I was 21 in 1962. We were married over 46 years. She was 66 when she passed in 2009, about 18 months later I was writing poems.)
Happy Anniversary
To My Joey Happy Anniversary
On April 7th these words were said do I take this woman to be my wife
I said yes for the rest of my life
There was a time when our love was lost awhile
You gave me a daughter I gave you a smile
Some years went by and now our family totals to five
We can see and feel our love thrive
Our marriage has not always been the best
But I like to think it’s a love nest
The past years were difficult and have not been good
But the next hundred years will be better as they should
With all the love I have for you
A good life I must, I have too
I have not forget our little three
Before they leave I hope better things they will see
Patience understanding and love I need
To make all my dreams succeed
My love for you is honest and true
Is it the same with you too
Joey my love and Joey my wife
For all our years you were and are my life
In a hundred years when we depart
In heaven another love we will start
My love for you is plain to see
Your my love happy anniversary
