THE MISSING FACE

To search in the crowd

For a mysterious face that’s strikingly familiar

To search deep into the subconscious

For faint infant memories

To delve into old dusty files

For a missing genealogical link.

To dig into the past

Through the present

To stare into strangers’ eyes

Hoping for an instant recognition

To shake a multitude of hands

Silently longing for a memorable touch

To say hi to thousands

Painfully searching for an unforgettable voice

To search for the missing face

Without a clue of its resemblance

Only sure of the potential contentment

Peace of mind

Happiness

Joy

That the missing face embodies.

To search for the missing face

Naively amongst mere mortals

To anticipate His missing face

His contentment

Peace of mind

Happiness

Joy

On earth rather than in heaven.

(It would be deceiving for anyone to think that an adoptee does not think about his/her roots, it's even more deceiving for an adoptee to expect complete contentment without the discovery of his/her spiritual roots)
