Someone Special

In moments shared, both small and grand,

You gave with heart, a guiding hand,

Like quiet waves upon the sand,

Your love would ripple through the land.

A gentle laugh, a knowing smile,

Strength endured through every trial,

Someone special, all the while,

You walked with grace in every mile,

In morning light and soft winds too,

We feel the quiet strength of you,

Your spirit shines in all we do,

A legacy forever true.

Now you rest where stars shine through, In peaceful realms beyond our view.

We miss your voice, your warmth, your cheer,

And keep you in our hearts, so near.
