Two Empty Houses

My house forgot what laughter sounded like, After she went home above. The walls grew old with every passing year, Waiting for the voices that I loved. My son built dreams beyond these doors. My daughter found her own new life. I thank God for their happiness, And walk these rooms alone at night. My home grew quiet in a different way. The day he chose another road. My little boy became a man. Then carried love into his own. I smiled as I let him leave, Like every mother knows she must. But every night, his silence whispered, "Who will grow old with "Who will grow old With us?" Two empty houses, two hearts learning How to pray. Neither one was looking for tomorrow, Till God crossed our ways. He didn't erase our memories. He didn't change our past. He didn't He simply placed two broken lives where Love could grow at last. Where grow at last. I thought my best years were behind me. I thought my story had been told. But grace has a way of opening doors, When every window has grown closed. Maybe God allows some winters, So we never take spring for granted. Maybe God allows some winters-Because they both Survive the snow. Two empty houses. Now one table, one prayer, one light. One prayer, one The silence finally found its Ending, the day God changed our lives. We didn't fall in love because we were lonely. We fell in love because we believed. That after every season of Sorrow, God still Writes beautiful endings. The day she closed her eyes, God buried more than dreams. The night when our inside dissolved, Or so it seemed. My son walked out the front door. Too hurt to watch me fall. I reached for empty bottles, Instead of God at all. I thought I was too broken, Too far to be redeemed. But Heaven never stops Looking for me. Two empty houses. Not because of His love. Of His love. He rebuilt I had broken, With mercy from above. With from above. Now every breath reminds me-Now Every breath No soul is too far to save. If you ask me who changed my life-If Ask me who changed my life-It wasn't wasn't Time It was-It was- Jesus. Because two empty houses. Jesus. Jesus. Two empty houses.
