THE EMPTY CHAIR
At the table there is an empty chair
Reserved for a loved one who cannot be there
Every thought makes us want to cry
We leave it there because we cannot say goodbye
Your laughter used to make us smile
Although it's forever, we hope its just a while
Though your leaving tore our world apart
You will forever live on inside our heart.
At the table there is an empty chair
Still occupied, though there's nobody there
Everyday we reset your place
We know you won't need it, but just in case.
Your love for life was clear to see
You were the very best of company
Memories we will cherish and forever hold
Now a beautiful angel with your wings tipped with gold.
