A Poem of Farewell

You slipped beyond the edge of day,
where quiet skies and soft winds stay.
The world grew still as you took flight,
a gentle soul returning to the light.

Your laughter lingers in the air,
your love remains everywhere.
In every sunrise, warm and gold,
we feel the stories left untold.

Though shadows fall where you once stood,
your spirit moves through all that’s good
through whispered winds, through stars above,
through every act of lasting love.

Farewell, but not forevermore;
we’ll meet again on that far shore.
Until that day, in hearts you rest
remembered, honored, deeply blessed.

“A Gentle Goodbye”

You walked a path of love and grace,
A light no darkness could erase.
Though your journey’s reached its rest,
Your memory lives within our chest.
In every smile, in every prayer,
We feel your spirit lingering there.
Gone from sight, but never far
Forever loved, our guiding star.

Friends, let us continue to keep the family in our prayers.
