A song breathes life to memory,
A memory once rooted in pain.
It brought me trembling to my knees,
Summoning tears like stormy rain.
Decades have now gone by,
And with them, I have grown.
No longer bound by past despair,
The pain has turned to stone.
This memory sways and comes to life,
Revealing truths I failed to see.
A tale of blessings softly shared,
A hidden gift you gave to me.
Thoughts of you focused on loss,
On moments that had slipped away.
But now I see the gift you brought,
The joy I failed to seize that day.
I look back now, and all I see
Is your face, a radiant flow,
The laugh that sparked my brightest smile,
A love I never let fully show.
As this melody softly lingers,
It weaves your image through my mind.
Each note, a blessing bittersweet,
A love that time could not unwind.
