The Longing

On a day where the sky is so brilliantly blue, my thoughts are directed only toward you To feel the sun and the wind on my face, and your hand in mine as we stroll about this place The light shimmers on the water so radiant, so clear, like my soul longing to have you near The reflection of you I can see everywhere, as my heart cries out because I do so care The breeze on my face reminds me of how time has passed, of how you are growing and how it has been so fast Your life has changed beyond measure and so has mine, but we can never go back and we can't ever change time Our hearts know that we are connected as one, a father and his daughter separated... but never undone My arms may be empty because you are not here, though you are my greatest love... you never have to fear As I sit by the water and watch a sunset unfold, you are with me always... the truth has been told We will see many sunsets which dance off the water because of the love of a father and his daughter Now, as the sun drifts lower to meet the night, I watch in humbled awe at its spectacular sight Then my soul renews its faith in the glory above, for a father and his daughter longing yet forever... bonded in love.
