they come and go
these kids of ours
and say
you know mom
you know dad
you know how much we love you?
the empty nest is never really empty
I find in it the days of laughter
and some of tears
and all the fun we've had
and all the prayers we've laid before
His throne room
This empty nest is really
very full
joy overflowing
a new son
grandchildren coming
and all the days shared
that all together
fill
to
overflowing
our kids
always
God's gifts
our favourite things
