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.
