You light the day. You light the way. Even when you’re away. The memory of you sustains. Like a shooting star, there’s a magic trail that’s left behind. Wherever you are, that part of you stays on the mind. Absence may make the heart grow fonder, but in a heart already steady, that love is safely kept. In a hope chest. One filled with mementos. That look of yours! Your life-giving smile. A gentle nod that feels like a hug, where fears are released and courage is found. The sound of your voice, that rapture to the ears! It’s the favorite sound of all. It’s the music of the spheres. You’re all those things and so much more. In a world of hard thoughts and deeds, you’re a place that shines past, to something brighter. A reminder there is a realer beauty, one that goes beyond all words. And you shine there, all the time. Even when unseen, you’re always heard. You’re always felt. The echoes resonate in the heart, and continue on forever. ❤️
