The Empty Chair

The Empty Chair

I look at your chair,

I think to myself,

You should be there

Sitting in your chair.

For many years now,

I’ve looked at that chair,

Thinking its so unfair

That you’re not there in your chair.

I see your face

The innocence there

I remember you ate your cereal

There in your chair

My heart aces for you

The pain is always there,

It never leaves me it sits there

Sitting there just like you chair.

I am sad for what we missed,

I am sad you were gone so young,

But that will always be your chair

Waiting,just sitting there.

I have a son now

I named him after you,

When he sees your chair,

He always wants to sit there.

Holidays are hardest, filled with love and cheer

You are always with me
