In my heart lay many vacant rooms
Filled with memories of those who have gone to soon
Rooms that were once full of love, life and laughter
Left disappointed; empty; with no happily ever after
We always want the story book ending and for some it just isn’t true
Living like a fairy tale, Cinderella doesn’t always find her shoe
You do your best to function and continue to live your day
But when faced with stillnes and quiet it just never seems ok
Yet death is certainly a part of life, of this I am certain
But what to do with the vacant rooms in my heart, I guess I’ll keep on searching
No matter how I try to fill them, it just is the never the same
They were carved out special for those I have loved, only longing remains
We bury the hurt in our day to day, because life just moves on
This is will be the same for me and you when we are also gone
This is my conclusion; this is my resolve
Focus on today:be present: continue to evolve
Live each day with intention, purpose and passion
For things shift ever so quickly, like walls that come down crashing
In the blink of an eye, everything can be changed
In that very same blink, your world can be rearranged
There’s no getting used to it, nor is it something to overcome
It’s learning to walk a brand new life, it seems it’s just begun
While your steps may falter, walking with a limp
Just remember this life is fleeting; here and now is just a glimpse
For when the mighty trumpet sounds and heaven beckons us to come
We will again be reunited, for all eternity, never to be undone
And in this is our treasure chest, our true happily ever after
Tuck away these promises, turning that mourning into laughter
Cinderella does find her shoe in an unconventional way
Store your treasures in heaven, live your fullest life today
IN DEEP WATERS
