How It Works
How It Works
You and the author will get in touch with each other in order to get the feel for the poem as well as determine the names of those desired, events to be included, and everything you want the poem to say.
The poems are seven four-line paragraphs and normally fit nicely on an 8”x11” sheet of paper. You can select the type of paper you want it to be printed on, such as parchment, sky, etc.
The finished poem can be forwarded via the internet or mailed directly to your home. Please also understand that since these works are all originals they must be paid in advance.
The Average time required is 2 weeks. However, if you need something quickly, I’ll certainly try to do all I can to help. The average poem as described will cost $100.00 which includes postage.

Still Pond
Deep inside the densest woods
A still pond lies at rest
A mirrored glass reflecting pool
Serenity at best
A quiet place that imitates
The beauty all around
And simply lies in tranquil state
Just waiting to be found
For beauty must be witnessed
To earn its proper place
Like ocean waves that pound the shores
Or a smile on a beautiful face
But if you discover a still pond
Take the time to absorb what it means
A place undefiled by the scourges of man
Where you quietly conjure your dreams
Where dragonflies play in the sunshine
And butterflies light on the tree
A place where your heart can be peaceful
And the Father can whisper to thee
For this is creation, perfection and love
It’s His lesson in peace just for you
Remember to thank Him and follow His lead
Be a still pond in all that you do
- Joseph Hoey
Sisters
Sisters always puzzle me
They’re hard to understand
They love each other very much
But seldom show their hand
They don’t keep contact all the time
Yet each one seems to know
The time to phone or write the note
When the other’s feeling low
Their memories are amazing
Of their times together past
Old boy friends, school and sister stuff
That can always make them laugh
They also know they have a place
To reveal their love and pain
And know that once the story’s told
It will never repeat again
So having a sister’s like having a shrink
Who charges you one twenty five
But this one is free, knows you better than most
And will see you whenever you try
So if you marry a sister, as men often do
And you think that you’ll come in between
Don’t be foolish my friend, for she’ll pack up again
And move back to her sister in Queens
- Joseph Hoey
Old Sneakers
I have these beat up sneakers
That I wear most every day
They’re scuffed and kind of shapeless Truly should be thrown away
But I’ve not the heart to tell them
That the end is finally here
For they’ve been with me so very long
Much like friends I hold so dear
We’ve been through mud and rain and snow
And walked the miles of sand
And even though they’re looking tired
They can dance to beat the band
I know I must replace my friends
With sneakers fresh and white
But I’ve always had the hardest time
Doing something that doesn’t seem right
For if friends appear a little tired
And maybe even sad
You simply can’t just walk away
And replace the ones you had
So I’ll keep them in the closet
Just like friends you hold in heart
And though they’re not with me today
We’re never truly apart
For the rainy days will come again
And the new ones fear the trial
So I’ll reach back for the ones I trust
Who have partnered my stormiest miles
And always remember old sneakers and friends
Are a lot like each other you see
If l reach in the closet or deep in my heart
I’ll find love always waiting for me
- Joseph Hoey
I Am The Sleeping Giant
I am the sleeping giant
America’s my name.
I just awoke the other day
And viewed a coward’s shame.
He came with fire in the sky
My children in his arms¡
And killed five thousand innocents
Who never caused him harm
Families left with bleeding hearts
Destruction all around
Bodies buried deep beneath
Some never to be found.
And though he froze our world for days
And tried to garner fear,
His ignorance has caused his mind
To miss one fateful year.
The year was nineteen forty one
Pearl Harbor was the name;
And though my children all were lost
We knew we'd fight again.
For in our hearts we always knew
That God was on our side.
And though my children have been hurt
They never touched our pride.
That deep resolve that’s etched in our souls
That glorious sense of right;
The one that screams across the land
We’ve just begun to fight.
So listen close you evil souls
And learn your lessons well.
You may have taken ones I love
For that you’ll burn in hell.
I am the sleeping giant
America’s my name.
And pray to my God when we’re finished with you
That you’ll never be heard from again.
- Joseph Hoey, Poet
Smile for Me
Alzheimer’s
Excuse me I don’t know your name
But we might have met before
I’ve seen you stating, watching me
With looks that ask for more
Like those who stop to say hello
And seem to know my name
A name I’ve never known before
Yet like it just the same
You see I’ve lost my memory
My past has flown away
I have no worry, fret nor pain
I only have today
A wondrous day that’s filled with joy
And folks who truly care
Who tender to my every need
And smile because I’m there
And though I know I must have left
My loves and friends behind
Please know that love still haunts my soul
Though absent from my mind
So if you’re shedding tears for me
Please try to understand
I’ve shaken all the pain in life
And God now holds my hand
And if you’ll remember to look in my eyes
And discover a twinkle so sweet
Know that it’s love from the depths of my soul
And we’ll share tt again when we meet

Well today is finally November nine
And I’m truly delighted to say
That I wish you all the wonderful things
You deserve this and every day
As you gently pack old sixty one
An open the new sixty two
Remember the gifts God lovingly gave
To help us survive getting through
For you and I truly understand
Just how deeply two people can love
And will never forget every day since we met
That we truly were joined from above
So Happy Birthday my lover my friend
And remember as time passes by
There will never be love any stronger than ours
That we shared in our lives you and I
Sarah and John were just married today And each pledged each other their lives
And though we’re all happy and wish them the best I must say we’re a little surprised
For thinking of John and his tricks in the past It’s just hard to believe this is real
His friends can’t imagine he finally agreed Spent the money went for the deal
Now Sarah is different she’s living the dream That she carried inside her for years
A good man and a family and sweet picket fence And an ending that quells all her fears
So we wish them good luck as they go on their way And deliver sweet Sarah advice
Though your husband’s our friend and will be to the end He truthfully isn’t so nice
But what really counts as we gather today Is the love we all share as your friends
For no matter what happens in good times or bad We will all be best friends til the end
