Our losses reflected in feelings of emptiness
As we faced with piteous looks not even masks can conceal
Looks that are felt through our deep sense of loss
A loss for something or someone who is no more
When clarity hits and there’s the need to express
Approach that empty chair as if they were there
Allow it to symbolise the loss or the hope of a return
To help facing living without that something or someone
May we find comfort in what we once had
Allowing the memories to fill our lives
Giving us strength to continue to hope
Hope that cannot be taken away
