Empty seats left lonely
Chairs now covered in cobwebs
Spokes with no words left
Families left with open holes
Hearts needing patches
Should we be angry?
Upset?
Sad orgrieving?
Unspoken words
In near empty halls
Unused chairs
Wheels never to turn again
And eachempty room
Echos the past
Stuffed animals now left
Lonely orin the bin
With other belongings
Now lacking anyone to belongto
Our dining rooms seem bigger now
Our hearts, more empty
Families lostin morning
For those they hardly got to see
This last year
All thanks tosomething
We couldn't see
Couldn't know
Couldn't predict
Andcouldn't stop
With all our effort, still
We havepatches to make
Holes to fill
More time needed
To fix ourloses
If we listen, though
We might justhear them say
"You will be okay"
And we ill, intime
Through the rain and
Through the cold
We'll pushthrough it all
Somehow, with time
Well will heal
Hopegrows brightest
In the blackness
And, with great pain
Comes great change
We would love to be
Anywhere buthere
Anywhere but in this position
But here we are
And we can't change that
We can only move forward
"You will be okay"
They all repeat
In sync
None of them would want us
To still be hurting after this
Instead of remembering
Their deaths
I 'd rather celebrate
Their lives
Don't remember their sickness
But their health
And, after our time in the black
Is through
Take this lose
And let it elevate us
To new heights
Keep them close
In our hearts and
Inour minds
But, when you're able
Let go of thesorrow
Keep the memories sweet
Untainted
And let those beyour guide
To a better
And brighter
Tomorrow
