    Updated Jan 7, 2022

    Alone, but never quite alone, we face an empty chair - But sometimes in the silence dear, it seems like you're still there My dearest one for many year - no longer here with me. Yet in some mysterious ways, he keeps me company Memories of him do come my way, though absent, he's still here Seems every day in some small way, you're loved, and missed my dear.
