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.
