Our Song

Our Song

I think our song is ending love

When tragedies are mentioned think on us

There was a great run for a while

When times were bright and gay

We laughed on golden shores

The hours whiled away without remark

Just sitting hand in hand, heart in heart

But now we must head into the sunset

Our lives to live again

It’s not alone I fear

It’s “without you” I dread

Hope Chest

A hope chest standing empty

By the foot of the bed

Brings to mind

Times long ago

Loves of yesteryear

Forgotten

But not completely lost

We collect trinkets

To start a new life

But what if we never start over?

Never begin anew?

Is hope lost forever?

Or is it left sitting

In an empty chest

At the foot of the bed?
