A New Beginning

A Quiet New Year's Eve...
    ©Kerrie O'Hearn Marquart 1/1/2013

Last New Year's Eve I woke you up
When midnight rang the New Year in.
We softly kissed as we always did
And prayed for a miracle once again.

No midnight kiss, no loving Bill,

No miracle did our Lord fulfill.
My first New Year's Eve without you.

I miss you so, holidays have been empty

  Without your love and wonderful smiles.
And my smiles are certainly few
  As I face another year without you.

I do have wonderful memories

  of all the things that made us one
I know you are in heaven now
  With the Father and the holy Son.

I pray I told you often enough

  How much I loved and appreciated
Your warmth, your love, your kisses and such
  That still warm my heart so very much.

But God has given me hope and strength

  That I never imagined I had
And yes, I know I will live on 
  Even though I lost the best friend and love
I ever had~
  YOU.

THE EMPTY CHAIRS....


The Empty Chairs...
       ©Kerrie O'Hearn Marquart

I look out at the empty chair
And remember when you sat there
Surveying our little kingdom.

I remember it was just last Spring
When we made the spot
That made our hearts sing
As we sat there by the water.

And memories of you fill the space
For I have memorized your face
Smiling in the sun
As we often sat as one...
  in chairs by the little lake.

Thanking God for memories
That fill my heart with reverie
As I picture you still here with me.
