A Young Girl

 A Young Girl

By Joeysguy

 

I found a picture, its quite old

Of a young girl who looks about four years old

 

She doesn’t look that small

She looks about three foot tall

 

The picture is black and white

It was summer and the sun was shinning bright

 

Behind her are bushes and trees

Her dress was short above her knees

 

The collar on her dress looks like its lace

The sun brightens up her little face

 

In her hair it looks like a bow

This little girl I didn’t know

 

And later in her life

That little girl grew up and became my wife

 

She was my wife

Up until she lost her life

 

Our time together in my mind will forever last

The picture is in my box of memories past

 

The First Kiss

 The First Kiss

By Joeysguy

 

My life started on the day of my birth

I don’t know when I will leave this earth

 

Like everyone else I’m only passing through

Life is short so make it work for you

 

I met this girl when I was here

I asked her if she lives near

 

She said yes on this street

Not far from where we did meet

 

After a couple of hours of talking I asked for a kiss

She leaned over to give me a kiss

 

What I said to myself was wow

So what do I do now

 

At that time the wind started blowing

I asked her if I could walk her to her building

 

Outside her building was a light

Leaving her I said good night

 

When I hear an old song, I reminisce

Through life to that first kiss  

My Gloden Years

 My Golden Years

By Joeysguy

 

About the golden years, what I was told

Is the time of life when you get old

 

What some would say about the golden years

You get old, retire and enjoy the sunset years

 

I retired and I’m up in years

This is not my golden years

 

I should have payed attention to what I had

Thinking back it wasn’t that bad

 

I let my golden years go past

Years with family do not last

 

Thinking back about my life

I miss those years with my wife

 

With my wife watching our kids grow

Those were my golden years that now I know

Daydream

 Daydream

By Joeysguy

 

One of things I do is sit outside

A couple of cats would be at my side

 

The pool is clear with blue water

In the house is my daughter

 

Here comes cat out from the shrubs

He’s jumping and running and chasing bugs

 

The sun is moving behind a tree

I can now look up it’s not blinding me

 

A few clouds are drifting by

I can see lines from a plane up in the sky

 

I sit and daydream about the past

Thinking of my wife, why can’t good things last

 

What is my life

Since I don’t have my wife

 

It’s been so long since I felt her touch

Hold her, kiss her, I miss her so much

 

When I married my wife

It was supposed to be for life

Barbara's Cat House

 Barbara’s Cat House

By Joeysguy

 

It started back when a cat came to our door

She was so thin, and here comes a few more

 

Adults and kittens all starving and thin

We have no idea where they’ve been

 

We fed them and they decided to stay

Days went by and more cats came our way

 

They totaled up to twenty kittens and cats

They get a little wild and have a few spats

 

Some of The cats will come in, but most stay outside

The kittens are inside

 

The kittens stay in till their grown

Then they will go outside on their own

 

Five of the cats no longer wanted to stay

We don’t know why they left one day

 

My daughter named them all

Some come when we call

 

One kitten likes water

She jumps in the sink or the shower

 

That same kitten, when I turn on the treadmill

She comes running to walk on the treadmill 

And Still I Wait

 And still I Wait

By Joeysguy

 

I had to wait until I was grown

So I could live on my own

 

And when I met this girl

She sent my head in a twirl

 

I had to wait

Before she said yes to a date

 

I had to wait for the right time   

To ask her to be mine for a lifetime

 

I don’t remember if I got down on one knee

When I asked her if she would marry me

 

I don’t remember where we were

Yes was her answer

 

I had to wait till that day

For the words I Do that we would say

 

Each time her stomach would grow

I had to wait for my kids to show

 

My wife passed without a goodbye

Lovers don’t say goodbye

 

And still I have to wait to be with my wife

When I enter my next life

 

 A Tree of Tears    

By Joeysguy

 

When I would look out the window at this tree

So long ago it was planted by my wife and me 

 

For years the apples would fall to the ground

The deer would eat them when they would come around

 

With the weather changing each day

Some of the leaves get blown away

 

Lots of leaves would fall to the ground

The winds would blow them all around

 

Strong winds would cause the branches to shake

The weak ones falling after they break

 

When the leaves are all gone the branches are bare

So when it rains the drops hang like a tear

 

When it snows the branches are so white

A sunny day makes them shine bright

 

Freezing rain makes the tree sparkle

Strong winds can make the branches crackle

 

On a still and calm day

The tree stands still and doesn’t sway

 

The tree showing signs for a short life

It’s another thought of my wife  

 

I moved away from what was once our house

Packing so much in my head the memories of my spouse
