you sang with me. . . .

thanks for checking in on me
after such a long day
when it seemed the world was cold
and no one in it cared

thanks for asking how i was
after such a trying week
when it seemed like everything that could
would

thanks for making eye contact
and saying nothing at all
knowing i needed
the peace and quiet
of that moment

thanks for singing along
when the tunes were loud and happy
when the songs were sad and low
thanks for the harmonies
and melodies of love
