Glimmer of Memory

I found your note beneath the winter glass
The ink had blurred, but every word came back
A paper sun, a crooked little smile
You made the longest road feel worth the miles

Though years have changed the names of every street
Your steady kindness still returns to me

Glimmer of memory, carry me through
A spark from the days when the world felt new
Across every distance, through all we become
Your light keeps a place in the heart I call home
Glimmer of memory, bright and alive
A promise we made that the years can’t untie

The old oak leans above the river bend
We carved our initials where the roots descend
I traced the letters, laughed into the rain
And felt your fearless answer rise again

Though time may turn the pages far ahead
The best of what you gave is here instead

Glimmer of memory, carry me through
A spark from the days when the world felt new
Across every distance, through all we become
Your light keeps a place in the heart I call home
Glimmer of memory, bright and alive
A promise we made that the years can’t untie

When every road runs wide and unfamiliar
I hear your words: keep going, keep your faith
No mile can make the good we shared grow smaller
No passing season takes those days away

Glimmer of memory, carry us through
A spark from the days still shining in view
Across every distance, through all we become
Your light keeps a place in the heart I call home
Glimmer of memory, bright and alive
A promise held fast as the years race by

Bright and alive
The years race by
Your light stays with me
