An Empty Chair at Christmas
By Savannah Morris
There will be empty chair at Christmas,
it was your favorite time of the year.
Seeing all of your 8 grandchildren,
and spreading the holiday cheer.
Your presence will be missed dearly,
but you're in the best place you could be.
Your spending Christmas with your Savior,
rather than around the Mathews' Christmas tree.
You're with your family in spirit,
and always close at heart.
The grieving will never be easy,
this holiday season is just a start.
It will not be the same without you,
but the memories don't fall astray.
There will be an empty chair at Christmas,
but hold us near I pray.
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted,
and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
- Psalm 34:18
