In the quiet hush of dawn’s first light,
I feel the shadows whisper, soft and slight,
A gentle echo of your tender grace,
In every corner, in every space.

Your laughter danced like sunlight through the trees,
A melody that swayed upon the breeze.
With loving hands, you wove a world so bright,
A tapestry of warmth, a beacon’s light.

You taught me love, in every form it takes,
In simple gestures, in the risk that faith makes.
Your wisdom, like a river, flowed so deep,
Now in the silence, I am left to weep.

Each lesson learned, a precious gem bestowed,
You planted seeds of kindness, love, and hope.
In every heart you touched, a bloom would grow,
A legacy of grace, forever aglow.

Yet now the days feel heavy, dark, and long,
Without your voice, my spirit’s lost its song.
The world keeps turning, but I stand apart,
A hollow echo in this aching heart.

I carry you within, a sacred flame,
In whispered prayers, I still speak your name.
Though sorrow clings like shadows in the night,
Your love remains my ever-guiding light.

So as I walk this path of bittersweet,
I’ll honor you in every soul I meet.
For in the blessings that you left behind,
Your spirit dances, ever intertwined
