I see her throwing flowers
and most cherishing every hour,
but look back at the old school chair
and realize there's nothing there.
There's a chair next to it,
and on it I can see a shape:
small, lonely, and dark - almost black.
I walk to it and find it's my heart.
As I pick it up from the chair,
I realize that it's dying,
and I look around, but I'm alone.
But I walk out to find
that dreams do come true.
There she is with husband and kids,
and I find myself with friends,
goats, chickens, and a sweet garden.
So sun and rain splatter our faces
with blessings and God's good graces.
I think I prefer it without the happy ending, but that's just me. It's really sweet.
