The Empty Space

In every lovely garden, one Bloom stands out
from all the rest

Someone will always pick it .. for it is
the very best

The garden keeps on growing but one spot
will remain bare

For nothing can replace the Special Bloom that
once was there

It's been a year since God reached down and plucked
you from our midst

The void remains .. as does the pain, you are deeply loved
and deeply missed
