Quiet house, closed doors,
Empty beds, clean floors;
Sweet silence--is it worth it,
When the house is quiet?
No footsteps, no distressed cries,
No little ones to let in flies;
Sweet peace--are you worth it,
When this house is quiet?
Imagined voices keep me up,
A thousand days is not enough;
Sweet calm--is it worth it,
When my house is quiet?
Watching the passing years,
The tender hearts and loud tears;
Sweet hush--is it worth it?
Time goes on, the house is quiet.
