Joey's Guy

Joey’s guy In 1962 my girlfriend changed my life When she said I do and became my wife My girlfriend taught me how to kiss From girlfriend to wife to someone I terribly miss We were married and brought together I wanted us to be as one forever We had two daughters and a son After three children we were done At times we use to take the kids to the park It was something we didn’t do after dark My wife passed without a goodbye And to this day I could still cry I look at pictures of my wife That’s all I will have for the rest of my life I can remember kissing her hand Now on a neck chain I kiss her wedding band She raised her family with love Now my wife is in heaven above At times my poems make me cry They help me to be Joey’s guy

Sorry for the loss in your life..To lose a child or one's love of a lifetime would be one of the hardest things that life could dish out to us...You did an excellent job in conveying the emotion..Sara
