The stars above seem dimmer now,
A guiding light has ceased to glow,
The world feels colder, somehow,
As I navigate this shadowed row.
His voice, a whisper in the breeze,
A memory etched in my heart,
Though time may try and memories seize,
His wisdom will never depart.
The laughter shared, the silent tears,
The lessons learned, the strength he showed,
In moments dark, he quelled my fears,
His love, my eternal ode.
Now faced with lifeâs relentless tide,
Without his steady hand to steer,
I carry him deep inside,
His spirit forever near.
