First Line: There is such a world of heartache
Last Line: Of a laughing little boy.
Subject(s): Emptiness; Memory
There is such a world of heartache
In an empty little bed.
With the imprint on the pillow
Of a precious tousled head.
There's a memory in each corner
Of some cherished book or toy,
And the house is full of echoes
Of a laughing little boy.
