Listening to Delilah

Afterglow on a warm summer evening
Driving home after a hard day’s work
The radio’s on; love songs filled the air
Sweet melodies, in him, they lit a spark
 
Several callers told their stories
That extolled the power of romance,
Of self-sacrifice and undying love;
From those unafraid to take a chance!
 
A long-time sweetheart awaits at home
Making his dinner while he travels–
Maybe it’s time to take a leap of faith,
Let doves go; and ring the wedding bells!
 
It’s been quite a long time coming
They’ve been together, it seems like ages
It’s time to unravel a new chapter
In their book; or simply turn the pages!
 
As he listens to Delilah give love advice
And then play the requested love songs
A rush of warm feelings engulfs him, and
He knows surely on whose arms he belongs!

Delilah Rene is an American radio personality, author, and songwriter, best known as the host of a nationally syndicated nightly U.S. radio song request and dedication program, with an estimated 8 million listeners. She first aired in the Seattle market as Delilah Rene, though she is now known simply as Delilah.

A few years ago, I used to listen to her on my way home from work. I like the music she played. Soothing and prevents road-rage. LOL
