Whispers of Love

I thought I heard you utter my name
So gentle a whispered refrain
Near to my ear this early dawn
Now fully awakened by my alarm

Remember....

Rain drenched, we made tree shelter as it poured
Gently you stroked my hair from my eyes
Whispering words of love I adored
Many happy years have passed, how time flies

Remember.....

So close, even our breathing was in sync
When your protective arm encircled me
Whispering words of love our fingers interlinked
Our love transparent for all to see

Remember......

Our honeymoon spent at Niagra Falls
Sipping champagne cocktails, I whispered your name
Not much sightseeing as I recall
Do you remember it as the same

Remember.......

My darling boy there cannot be any other
Only you in my heart as a flickering flame
I lie beside you on your hospital cover
Whisper, if you can dear, my Christian name.
