There are too many people with one empty chair.
So many are hurting, who need love and care.
Remember this Christmas, those no longer here.
Hold on to the memories so precious and dear.
Reach out to those near us in need of a touch.
Our small acts of kindness can bless them so much.
If we know someone hurting and feeling alone,
We can still show our love when we pick up the phone.
A card or a call, a small gift that we’ve made
Can offer some comfort and help the grief fade.
In these days social distancing’s taking its toll.
Our need for a touch comes from deep in the soul.
I pray we survive it and come out unscathed,
That expressions of love will endure and be saved.
I pray like the flowers that blossom this spring,
We’re set free to embrace, take our mask off and sing.
I pray you’re blessed with all the fond memories.
Thank you for sharing Dean.
Thank you, John. I do have that empty chair still here after 4 years.
Your expression and thoughts are right on.
Thank you for sharing.
God bless you.
Sent copy to Doug Williams and Marlon Duke. Saw them both Sunday at Marathon. Difficult time to be alone. Thanks for sharing these words. Praying for you and Lee.
