Looks like Vero Beach, FL until the end!

THE EMPTY CHAIR

I look across the table
And I picture her there
Early in the morning time
She sits there in her chair.

She says "Good morning" to me
And gently takes my hand
Squeezes it tenderly --
It's more than I can stand.

I sit thinking 'bout the dream --
The one I dreamt last night
Of the sweet love that we made --
So perfect and so right.

I pretend to ask, "My love
What should we do today?
Do you want to do something --
Or just stay home and play?"

And I look across the table
To find that she's not there
Early in the morning --
I find an empty chair.

Such a sad write...
but I do know the empty chair
syndrome, in many ways...

But...that just shouldn't be! Tell her to come on over, and have morning tea, and fill that chair. Keep the seat warm for ya! hehe
Come, and sit a while, and chat! I'm sure she'd love to.This is a bit sad, but a sweet one!
Love,
Shara~

Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer!
