Absent Father
They say absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder
Still, with the missing of your presence, I sit and ponder
I've sifted and searched throughout past channels in my mind
I've seeked out answers to questions I'll never find
Left with a permanent scar deep within my heart
A hindering thirst for knowledge as to why you did part
My mind wanders the most on father's day
Your absence leaves an emptiness that won't go away
Whatever your reasons and wherever you are, I wish you the best
Happy fathers day dad, maybe someday we'll lay these questions to rest
