I hear the lingering melody

The sound follows me constantly

It makes me think of great days

Some very passionate ways

The moments we shared

The dreams we dared

When we held each other close

Like love mattered most

The God we trust

What He offered us

The ordained journey

Meant for us only

And the pride

We simply cannot hide

I hear the lingering melody

It sounds good to me

It makes me think of love

Sent by heaven above

What our hearts felt

What made me melt

What gave us strength

Times we talked at length

How we found a place

Filled with mercy and grace

How we let go of fear

What we hold dear

The blessings granted

The seeds we’ve planted

Things we both treasure

Beyond all measure

The tender touch

That means so much

Our solid ground

The joy we found

What makes us great

The memories we create

What we’ve learned

The stripes we’ve earned

The guidance God gave

What we both crave

Is meant to be

As I listen to the lingering melody
