Place At Table
Place at table
He went twenty-two years ago
Love of her life, joy of her heart
Father of her children
Grandfather always with a smile
Taken after a short illness
Cancer stricken fighting to the end.
She still lays a place at table for him
An empty chair where he sat
Remembers the happiness they shared
Thankfully they met and married
Finding such loneliness without him
Visits his grave on Sunday afternoon.
