Memories In Reprise

I hear her calling to me softly Her gentle voice is like a spring breeze Wafting on the scent of fresh lilac, A lifetime of memories in a reprise Her gentle voice is like a spring breeze Whispering my name from heaven’s portal A lifetime of memories in a reprise Assuring me that life goes on, immortal Wafting on the scent of fresh lilac I inhale her essence; I know she is there For her presence lingers effervescent, I reach to run my fingers through her hair A lifetime of memories in the reprise, Every waking moment I draw her near Reliving all those special times we shared Savoring all the best with Deborah, my dear.
