In an Empty Room

In an empty room,
she sat and prayed
for love had left her old.

Her son had died
before his time
and now the years felt cold.

In an empty room,
where he once had slept
she filled with memories of joy.

It looked out on to his
garden green
where birds graced the flowers with song.

The light from the window
filled her heart
and at night the stars did glow.

Time did pass
and she found peace
whenever a song filled her soul.

She wears his locket
close to her heart
and sings her song loud and true.

The empty room
now filled with hope
for all who pass through.
