Joey (6)

Joey JoAnn was the birth name of my wife To me Joey was her name for a lot of our married life One of the best things anyone could ask for in life Is to have a good and loving wife When it comes time for me to pass no matter day or night I hope and pray that my wife will be my guiding light I did not complement my wife as much as I could of But with all my heart I gave her my love My wife is in heaven watching over our family Hoping we could be the best we could be I am now living by myself and on my own I have my dogs and my family but I feel alone I never thought I knew how bad pain could ever be Until my wife died and left me At times my wife lets me know she is near She turns off the picture frame to let me know she is here On a chain around my neck I wear my wife’s wedding band I also still wear mine on the finger of my left hand To anyone who reads this poem Do not let the time with your family go Everything is gone before you know

Keep the writing flowing Michael, in time you will start to write about more of your past. And you will deviate to other splendid things you shared. The healing will never be complete, but the heart will appease to allow you to enter tomorrow and I will be here to read >> James
