MISSING

She’ll never find a man

To love her as she needs

There isn’t one, could understand,

Her affections as she breathes.

A man could never reach her

He’ll miss her beauty

And grace she beholds.

Deep within her being it lives.

This part of her soul

He’ll never know.

No, she’ll never find a man

To fulfill her.

One who could fill her needs.

Her mother always held her.

And told her

Be free, forever free.

A man won’t hold her

Like her mama did.

It will never be enough

But she’ll remember

What her mama said

And yearn for her gentle touch

The touch all men have lost.
