Empty Chair - Justice Ochie - 07-24-2018
The chair where you sat lies vacant and still,
The air so silent, through my body runs a chill,
The sound of your laughter echoes in my ears,
The teddy that you loved brings me close to tears.
Photos of you smiling are scattered on the wall,
The sense that you are here, as I walk through the hall.
An empty bed remains made just as it was that night,
Bedroom left alone, even though you're out of sight.
Your DVD's and music left untouched upon the shelf,
Some of which you didn't get to watch yourself.
The cup from which you drank tea alone behind the door,
Left abandoned like a friend not needed any more.
I looked into the night sky, on that fateful night,
I saw a star begin to flicker, like a fading light.
They say a star fades when a life comes to an end,
But for you God made an exception, that rule he did bend.
He reignited the flickering star so we can look above,
To see that star shining bright, showering us with love.
Stars may fade but the light lives on somewhere,
Just because you can't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there.

Good evening Rover
I do not work at a funeral home, i am a website designer. The poem "Empty Chair by Lee W Barker" is simply a tribute to people who have lost someone dear.
Have a good day.
