MEMORY LINGERS

 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

  2. Beverly,
    It'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.
