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
