You were the spark that lit the room,
A laugh that danced like morning light,
A voice that soothed, a fierce embrace,
A soul that burned so wild, so bright.
Too soon, they say; too soon, it ends
A story with much more to give.
But time can't cage the force you were,
The way you loved, the way you lived.
You were a mother; soft and strong,
A shelter, song, and steady flame.
In tiny hands, your love lives on,
In whispered stories, called by name.
You were a friend; the truest kind,
A heart flung open, wide and wide,
The one who stayed when nights felt long,
Who never let a soul hide.
And though the world now feels less full,
Your echo hums in all you’ve touched
In laughter shared, in tears still shed,
In lives made better, just as much.
We do not seek to understand
Why stars fall early from the skies
We only hold the warmth they leave
And keep it burning in our lives.
So let us live like you once did
Brave, and messy, bold, and true
For in each breath of fearless love,
We carry forward part of you.
