EMPTY DAYS
by Peggie Bouse
As another day has come
to an end,
I ache to hold you my
Son, my friend.
The thought has often
crossed my mind
if you were still here
what would I find.
Would your hair be long
or shaggy,
or look an awful fright?
Would you still sleep
with the light on
like you did on stormy
nights?
Would you throw your arms
around me
and say you love me true?
The way you did at bedtime
when your busy day was
through.
Would your face light
up with laughter
and radiate the room?
The way that it had always
done
when my heart was filled
with gloom.
I wish that I could hold
you
to take my pain away.
But as the night becomes
the dawn,
I'll face another day.
A day that's filled with
heartache,
a day that's filled with
tears.
A day that's filled with
memories,
and lonely empty years.
GOOD-BYE MY ANGEL I LOVE
YOU
MOM
