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
