Things will be much different this Christmas Eve
we will gather as family
but not all will be right
for there will be an empty chair.
Dad will not be with us
for he is no longer here
how can we do this
for there is an empty chair.
Will there be jokes at dinner
what about the surprises you always pulled
we may get our duct tape
but there is still an empty chair.
We know you are in Heaven
singing, dancing and free
but how do we live
for down here there is an empty chair.
Though the family has grown
and your seat may be taken
no one could fill it
for there will always be an empty chair.
Our hearts are heavy
the days seem dark
we long to see you
we hope that soon our chair will be empty too.
Thanks for the ping.
