Empty Nest - Constanza
Cardboard boxes filled on the floor,
Photos gone from nightside table,
Where we read a bedtime fable.
Twinges as I walk by her door,
Her sweet bed where she use to lay;
Sits empty yet another day.
Happiness, no crying I swore,
Accomplishments I am in awe;
Her future is a life in law.
Time has gone so fast, I want more.
That crazy smile and ponytail;
always melts my heart without fail.
Missing my daughter I adore.
So proud and knowing she’ll do well
but her absence still hurts like hell.
Cardboard boxes filled on the floor,
Twinges as I walk by her door,
Happiness, no crying I swore,
Time has gone so fast, I want more.
Missing my daughter I adore.
