Posted in By Sheila Empty Author: Larry (Editor) EMPTY Debbie, my life is empty without you The first thing in the morning I notice you are not there The empty space beside me is more than I can bear I listen for your voice, but silence is all I hear I miss so much having you near Debbie, my life is empty without you There is no sweet smile to greet me at the break of day There is no voice, “I love you” to say One is such a lonely number, just one I travel back in memories to when we first begun My life without you is empty each day I miss you, I love you, I will forever say Every day every moment in time Forever I will miss you, love of mine My life is empty without you, love of mine One is a lonely number, just one I travel back in memories to when we first begun In the morning I have my coffee and whatever I eat But you are not there the new day to greet As I pray, I miss your voice To be without you is not my choice My life is empty without you I go off to work without your kiss Your warm and tender lips I miss Day by day, I still feel your prayer For you, my love, I will forever care My life is empty without you From work, I want to call you to brighten my day Without you to listen, I have little to say I come home and seek your presence but there is an empty space In my heart I remember a welcome home face My life is empty without you You always had a meal ready and it was so good Now I eat whatever, not what I should You were the perfect hostess ready to serve every day You kept us smiling day after day When the meal was over it was time to be close Late in the evening I miss you the most You made me feel important and loved so much How precious was your loving – touch Every night we prayed together as one Our day was not over until the prayer was done You were the heart of my life You were everything the Word calls for in a wife Our adult children knew they could come home anytime Sometimes we would arrive home and there one of them we would find My life is empty without you Many nights we would fall asleep in a warm embrace When holding you my heart did race Without you I am not the same Sometimes I hear you calling my name The Word says that He will not put any more on us than we can bear In all of life’s pain, with you none can compare You never gave upon me when I went astray You were there for the good and the bad times each day My life is empty without you You have prayed for our family day after day You were on your knees even when you knew not how to pray A prayer warrior you were always to defend Your prayer life had no end My life is empty without you You celebrated grand times and small You invited us to celebrate them all My love, my life I know that you are waiting for me When I join you, from tears I will be free With you God gave me more than I deserve for all To be a godly wife and mother was your call When one in your family cried, you cried along When one in your family rejoiced you sang a praise song My life is empty without you To have known you was to have loved you You said I love you in everything you did do I have many precious memories over the years I remember times of laughter and times of tears Your love was showered on family, friends, and strangers, each one They felt the strength when your prayer begun I know that you are in heaven and our daughter in your arms You kiss her gently and see her precious charms My life is empty without you I know that you are waiting for me to be where you are To me it seems like forever, buy in His time it is not far I love you and I will see you one day “I love you” are the words I wait to hear you say Being with you my life will no longer be empty but fulfilled I love you Debbie Sheila Y Smith April 2019
