About Someone

Gone But Remembered

In the quiet of night, I hear your gentle sigh,
A fleeting breeze, a soft lullaby.
Your presence, a whisper in the stars' soft glow,
Though you're gone, your spirit continues to flow.

About Someone

Farewell

The world grows dimmer without your light,
A star extinguished in the deep of night.
Yet your love remains, a beacon pure and bright,
Guiding me through darkness, until we reunite.

About Someone

Eternal Rest

Sleep peacefully, dear one, in the arms of grace,
Where pain surrenders, and time finds its pace.
Your legacy, a tapestry woven with love,
In memories cherished, you shine above.

About Someone

Grandpa's Garden

Grandpa's garden, a jungle so grand,
He'd plant tomatoes by hand.
Now he's gone, the weeds grow high,
But we laugh, remembering his pie.
The scarecrow wears his old hat,
In memory, we have a chat.
We pull weeds with a smile and cheer,
Feeling Grandpa always near.

About Someone

Auntie’s Antics

Auntie's laugh was a raucous delight,
She'd prank us all, day and night.
Though she's passed, her jokes remain,
Like whoopee cushions on our train.
Her spirit dances in every joke,
In memories, her laughter spoke.
Auntie's antics, forever bright,
Lighting up our days and night.

06

About Someone

Eternal Whisper

In the whisper of the breeze,
I feel your soul at ease.
Your spirit dances in the light,
Guiding me through the darkest night.
Though your voice is silent now,
In my heart, you live somehow.
Memories etched, forever clear,
Your love, a presence always near.
Your life, a tale of love and grace,
In every star, I see your face.
Though we walk different paths, it's true,
My soul will always remember you.
