An Empty Nest

Now that the eaglets wings are stronger One by one they smoothly flew Leaving you, by yourself Standing in a four walled room An empty nest you see Of memories, painful and blue As well as the cheerful ones Surely will remind you When you stand in your empty nest And see each eagle fly It seems like yesterday When this room is full Child is everywhere, running and singing songs Now you’re alone Only the memories filled the place A question linger in your mind Now what’s next? Step back and relax And watch your eagles soar As they start to build their nest, soon they’ll be in your place © Philippine Copyright 2005 by Michael Hilario
