The Absent One

As we gather at the table
And watch each smiling face,
The heart fills with emotion
To see the vacant place.
We may strive to hide our longing
In the midst of mirth and fun,
But we're thinking, thinking, thinking
Of the loved - the absent one.

When we gather 'round the fireside
With merry laugh and jest,
How we wish the absent dear one
Was here with all the rest.
Still we join in all the frolics,
But we wish the day was done,
For we're thinking, thinking, thinking
Of the loved - the absent one.

Yet when the day is over
And they all have gone to rest,
We feel the Heavenly Father
Does all things for the best.
So we cheer our drooping spirits
With the rising of the sun,
But we can't help thinking, thinking, thinking
Of the loved - the absent one.
