Forever here



Gone from this world, your spirit takes flight,
Leaving behind a trail of memories bright,
Your laughter, your love, forever in sight,
Guiding us through the darkest of night.

Though you are gone, never forgotten,
Your legacy lives on, a love that's unbroken,
A flame that burns, never to be smitten,
A light that shines, forever unshaken.

We'll miss your smile, your gentle embrace,
Your kindness and your unyielding grace,
But we'll hold on tight, and keep the faith,
Knowing that you're in a better place.
