Missing Child

Why have you forgotten Me?
Am I not special to you?
I remember when spending time with Me,
Was what you loved to do.

Now, your love has grown cold.
It was once on fire for Me;
Oh, I miss you so much!
I miss what used to be.

Do you not care, My child,
About how your Father must feel?
I truly need your love again,
So that My heart would heal.

I've been watching you from heaven,
As you go about your day;
Hoping you'd remember Me,
And stop a moment to pray.

I've always been so good to you,
Always loved you, and been your friend;
I've provided for you all your life,
But you want our relationship to end.

Do you still remember My voice
Or just one thing I've done for you?
Do you remember feeling lonely?
But I was there, and deep down, you knew.

And yet, after all this time,
I still love you just as much today;
And nothing you do can ever change that...
Not even you turning away.
