There is an empty chair at our family table

A dinner setting without your name

This empty chair is like a neon sign

Saying dinner will never be the same

The empty chair is a reminder that life can be unfair

And how we must adjust to a life without you sitting there

But sharing all our memories will help us forge on through

While looking at that empty chair we see a glimpse of you

As we sit and eat our meal, we sense that you are there

Thankfully, memories full of love can fill an empty chair
