The Empty Chair At Christmas

The Empty Chair at Christmas by Robert J (Bob) Moore As Christmas rolls around again, we should take time to remember to pause, and think of people, who were with us last December Family, friends, and neighbours, who have left us since that day an empty space within our heart, which will never go away A place set at the table, for those who are not there and as the family gathers, we say a silent prayer remembering all the fun we had, when you were here with us and knowing we must carry on, as you wonder at the fuss Each year the list grows longer, of those whom we will miss the hand we cannot hold, and the cheek we cannot kiss but you are here, the memories flow, you would not want the sadness, so we think of you, and softly say, we will meet again one day
