I Long
I long to call or text you tonight
To hear your voice and make it alright
I long to hear you sing your song
Never a dream has been this long
I long to hug and kiss your cheek
For you, my son, I will always seek
I long to hold you one more time
But now it’s me to put you in rhyme
I long to see that special smile
As big as an ocean, as long as a mile
I long to talk about your day
To always make sure you find your way
I long to play catch again with you
To bond again, to start anew
I long to see your dreams fulfilled
That beautiful life you would build
But our Heavenly Lord longed too
To give you love, freely given
And like his son, your soul has risen
And now Heaven abounds with your precious voice
While stars shine bright and angels rejoice
BUT WHAT I REALLY LONG FOR is my son back again.
