In your house, there's an empty chair A place you sat so often I'd walk in the door, see your sweet face And instantly my mood would soften At the table, there's an empty place And it doesn't seem quite fair We've shared so many meals together It's not the same, without you there In your bedroom, there's an empty bed The place you used to rest A spot where as a child, I'd snuggle up And sleep my very best In my palm there's an empty space Where your hand laid in mine Those pretty painted fingernails Made me smile every time. In my life there's an empty void That no one else can fill You've been there my entire life I can't believe this is real. In my heart, there's an empty hole A part of me is gone I search and search but can't find it I feel so alone. The Lord called you home And as painful as it is I know I'll see you again someday When I place my hand in His. By: Ginger Hines 9/6/12
