I promise, dear one, to keep you near,

To speak your name, to hold you dear.❤️

Though shadows fall and nights feel long,

I’ll honor your life through every song.

I’ll tell your story with love so true,

To family, to friends, to all who knew.

The swan glides softly where waters flow,

Carrying whispers of love I know.

Through sorrow’s weight, I’ll rise each day,

To keep your spirit from fading away.

Your laughter, your smile, your tender care,

Live in my heart, forever there.

I promise to cherish the time we had,

To remember the joy through times so sad.

Through grief surrounds, my vow is strong,

Your memory lives and carries on. 🌟✨
