Remembering                                                             11

I think I loved her from that first day we kissed
  Now I try remembering all the things I had missed.
One day I said to my wife you know you’re hot
  Her response back to me was, no, no I’m not.
I said yes you are, I know because you’re my wife 
  I love you darling more than life.
I guess we were lucky when she realized I was the right guy
  She must have seen something when she looked in my eye.
Many times the kids had us challenge each other
  I was always proud she was my kid’s mother.
Money or material items are things you can replace
  Not time, I could have done more when we were face to face. 
My kids will have the poems of my wife
  They will remember she was my life.
I remember a few things from the 50’s
  Then came marriage and children in the 60’s.   
Some funny and cute things my Joey use to do
  They might not have been the same to you.
She would hold on to the phone booth and dance
  I would focus on her like being in a trance. 
I can’t change the passed it’s left back in life                            
  I can only think and dream back of my wife.
I always had an addiction for my wife
  I will be hooked to her the rest of my life.
Maybe writing my poems, I won’t forget so much
  I’ll read them and hope to feel my wife’s touch.  
Some people ask about my poems, the how and why
  Because I hope my wife will be remembered even after I…..
