Joey (4)

Joey For so many years she was my wife Now she is just a memory in my life Everyday that goes by I find it hard to keep a dry eye I was born to love my kids and my wife Which I will for the rest of my life I realize some of my poems are sad Thats how it is losing someone you love so bad All I have now are my memories of joy Dreaming back to the days of my wife my daughters and my boy Everyday is about the same for me I eat I sulk I sit and watch TV I have my first tattoo on my arm honoring my wife With all the years she was in my life I wear her name as proud as can be Wishing she was still hear with me My wife was my childrens mother There will never be another My love for my wife was my first my only and my past As far as Im concerned she will be my last I remember back to that first night when I drank some wine Once we kissed I felt in my heart she would be mine

Delightful warmth Michael, get away from that TV. Write about places where you and your wife have been, tell your story in your fine words. Re-walk in the park on that Spring morning, kicking the leaves in the Fall. Making snowballs with your kids, please write my man, and I shall read. Soup Mail me when you post >> James
