In the quiet whispers of the night,
I hear your laughter, fading light.
Your stories linger in the air,
A gentle presence, everywhere.
Your hands that once held mine so tight,
Now rest in peace, out of sight.
Yet in my heart, your warmth remains,
A love that soothes, a balm for pains.
The world feels emptier, shadowed and gray,
Without your guidance, day by day.
But in each dawn, I find your smile,
A beacon that stretches every mile.
Though tears may fall and sorrow stays,
Your spirit shines in myriad ways.
In every step and every breath,
Your love transcends the veil of death.
