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.
