PETER ASHWORTH You look across at the empty chair In vain for the one who Isn't there, No shared comments to make you smile, Just being together made life worthwhile. 'Time will heal,' or so they say, Just don't tell me that today. No card to come on your special day, No words to speed you on your way, No one to bring the cup that cheers, No one to soothe and calm your fears, Only memories of bygone years. The simple things are what you miss The loving hug, the goodnight kiss, The opening door — the words 'I'm back', The coat still hanging on the rack. The hopes and plans we made together We thought they would go on forever Are just a dream for now and ever. The house is empty, cold, austere, You open doors and no one's there. 'How could they do this, how could they leave, Abandon you to cry and grieve?' Then his hand slips into mine And says: 'Don't cry, you will be fine.' For love abounds and through your tears The sun comes out to quell your fears. The love of family and true friends Will see you through and make amends. And then the world begins to sing As you recall the precious things You held so dear, when you were two Saying 'you can start anew'. So now when I see the empty chair In my mind, you're always there. With all my love, your loving wife Frances xxx
