Missing (rough version)

Searching, seeking, always looking
For a part of me that is always missing
For a warmth, now faded by time,
For the hope, struck by fear
For the smile, washed away in sorrow's tears

The yearning that flickers in undying flame,
The missing part of me I cannot name.

  2. Em,
    Right before when Dad left and thereafter - in a sense, the "fatherless days". There's a neat old Newsboys song that I was reminded of when I wrote this called "Always the Same".
    I love you-
