Parents' Wish

No Empty Chairs
Look around our family table, every person in his place,
Memorize this happy moment, and each familiar face.
Look around our family circle, Feel the love that we all share.
Life is sweet and so complete with each loved one gathered here.

We’ll have no empty chairs at our table, No empty feelings inside.
When all those we love are together, here side by side.

Time will fly and all too quickly, some will leave to try their wings.
Empty places at our table, will tug at our heart strings.
But the number at our table, will increase as children come.
Bringing in our family table, sweet innocence and fun.

We’ll add a few more chairs to our table, A lot more laughter and love.
As our joy in multiplied daily, to fill our cup.

When there comes a time for parting, there will be no tears because,
We will set a grander table, where all will live in love.
There we’ll wait for all our loved one, Who will come take their place.
At the feast that will last forever, in God’s eternal place.

We’ll have no empty chairs at our table, No empty feelings inside. When all those we love are together, here side by side.

May the circle not be broken.
May each one return to me,
Safe within this peaceful haven, through all eternity.

We’ll have no empty chairs at our table,
When all are gathered above.
No more empty chairs at our table,
In heaven’s home of love.
