QUADRILLE #136 Linda asks that we use the word "linger" in our 44 word quadrille. Submitted to dVerse, September 20, 2021
MEMORY LINGERS
Gone so many years
yet your memory lingers
sometimes I feel your touch
hear your voice
smell your after shave
remember thoughts shared
and plans made
gentle loving nights
and for a moment,
just for a fleeting moment,
I don't feel alone
Losing your life partner is so hard. Sending you love Beverly.
ReplyDeleteBeverly,
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the comforts of love, that one never really forgets, and I'm thankful for those moments of remembrance, especially the good. Beautifully expressed.
