by his absence

one can only ever truly
know him by his absence
as the buzz and flutter of
his presence so confounds
he came to walk among us
as his father's precious gift
he cannot always be here
to help us through the night
one day we shall arise
he'll be no longer here
it's not for lack of love he
will choose to leave us thus
for his place has always been
there at his father's side
i beseech thee to be fully
present as he abides with us
he cannot always be here
to help us through the night
one day we shall awaken
and he'll be here no more
then it's but for us to strive
to know him by his absence
as the buzz and flutter of his
presence will be forever gone
