The peace and the quiet that I waited for The fighting and yelling can be heard no more No more toys can be found strewn across the floor The nest is empty The TV I watch without interference The things I can buy before they’re on clearance The things that I finish with much perseverance The nest is empty The crickets outside the creaks of the stairs The sounds that I never even knew that were there The things that I find that I knew were somewhere The nest is empty No more whispering sounds heard as they say their prayers No more cuddling, snuggling in my rocking chair Now the tears in the night that I wipe are not theirs My heart is empty tdb 8/02/08

The heart may seem empty, but the thoughts and memories help to fill the once empty heart
