Empty Nest

I woke up one morning, the children had flown.
The rooms had echos, laughter and sorrow.
I wandered around empty chambers all through.

I need to know, to see, to feel,
Where did I go, who did I become?

I woke up one morning, the laughter had flown.
The walls were blank, no tears or fears.
I wandered around embracing the quiet.

I need to know, to see, to feel,
Where do I go, when did I choose?

I woke up one morning, smiles so bright.
The decision made, feeling so right.
I wandered around elated all through.

I chose VEGAS baby, what a wonderful gift
I now feel, I now see, I HAPPY with me.
