Miss Ya!

When silence becomes deafening

    Your silent gestures comes reckoning 

When the sun's warmth is chilling

    Your understated smile lives up to its billing!

When the house feels empty

    Your presence becomes plenty

When the TV turns on

    Your absence becomes forlorn!

When peace wages war with my heart

    Your priceless squeals feel far apart

When time, every second, is agonisingly long

    Your memory brings a smile along!

When boredom hits hard

    Your eagerness to play a game of card

When a joke feels excruciatingly dull

    Your silly quips that I try hard to cull!

When I cannot sleep a night in bed

    Your condition at the camp, I dread

When waking up in the morning, my dear

    Your voice is all I want to hear!

When it feels like a storm when the house is calm 

    Your playful screams are the much needed balm

When trying all I can, I feel all alone in a group

    Your persona becomes the missing salt in my soup!

When I see a pillow and I hug it tight

    Your thoughts follow through and I want to fight

When my mind is filled with your thoughts of naughty crimes 

    Your stylish words I reminiscence a thousand times!

When the best energy I can muster makes me weak

    Your limitless creativity is what I seek

When joy evaporates, I finally gain insight

    Your childish intent is what makes my mood bright!

When things go wrong for me or become rough

    Your age-defying soothing words makes me tough

When rolling down, a tear feels like fire

    Your hug is all I need, my sire!

When there are no new things created at home each day    

    Your quick return to build things anew is what I pray!

When I am already a prey to an empty-nest syndrome

    Your dad needs you to quickly come back home!

When the day finally arrives, with tired shoulders slumping down

    Your jubilant smile hidden underneath the familiar frown

When I am barely hanging on to my last straw

    Your dad can only say "Miss Ya!"
