Leaving a Hole

Leaving a Hole

Another bed empty

Another empty slot at the dinner table

Another voice lost

Yes this is all true

But also,

One less bed to make

One less mouth to feed

One less headache

 

But remember,

Another smile gone

Another opinion unheard

Another joke untold

Still true

However,

One less dentist appointment

One less argument

One less fake laugh

Never mind

Forget it

I’ll miss her

That’s it
