Reflections of My Heart
The Empty Holiday Table ღ KKD ღ
with loved ones so dear Remembering the love and laughter that rang out so clear 
Burned deeply in my heart is each and every face Never to be forgotten the love I so embraced
Today my heart is heavy missing those who are gone Those who don't come around from my heart pain is drawn
As in years past today we would have done our baking but today there is no joy no sweets are we making
I sit here gazing at each empty chair Remembering the joy that once was today its absence.. Oh I'm so aware
There will be no invite to Christmas Eve no not even a thought No joy in hearing Christmas morning "Nana come see what Santa brought"
Those who have passed I always hold so dear Those who choose absence are the only true ghost here
My memories are mine not a single soul can steal The joy in remembering is the only thing that's real
I scoot Mz. "P" from my lap as I blow out the bright red candle I'm forced to walk away from this Empty Table Maybe next year ..... ღ KKD ღ Original by Donna DeLong Matthews © (All rights reserved) December 2010 Faith Hill Where Are You Christmas |
