The house holds its breath where your laughter used to ring,
Yet, if I stand in the stillness, your echoes rise and sing.
They linger like rays of sunlight on a warm autumn day,
And dance in my memories, with hope they’ll forever stay.
My heart oh how it aches with the void you left behind,
A knot of deep sorrow no time can ever unwind.
The kitchen feels too quiet, your chair so solemnly still,
Though in this heavy hush, God’s gentle whisper fills.
He holds your joyful spirit safe in endless light,
And mends my broken pieces through the long and tired fight.
One day the Heavens will open, your radiant grin I’ll see –
We’ll meet again in glory, eternally you and me.
