EMPTY CHAIR I wrote this in 2016, for our empty chair now sadly there are many more empty chairs

EMPTY CHAIR

Each year we lay your place

as we used to do

get your card

your present to

Each year we wait to hear

your voice

to see your smile

just waiting your hug

the one that took our breath

away

yet all there is this and every year

is an empty chair where you should be

we’re told time is a healer

it makes it easier

but that is not true

for all we see is not you

but an a empty chair

where you should be

for those missing loved ones this time of year
