Emptiness
In his room - an empty bed,In our home - an empty chair
At the table - an empty place,
In my heart - an empty feeling
In my life - a loneliness.
In my emotions - a longing
In my eyes - a sadness
In my mind - precious memories
In my sight - many photographs
In my soul - Divine hope
In my spirit - God's peace
In my hands - caring opportunities
In my will - determination to serve
In my love - abundance to share
In my attitude - thankfulness
In my widowhood - compassion
In my past - no regrets
In my present - reaching out to others
In my future - reunion
In my emptiness - God's fullness
