Though tears run down our face
you dwell in our heart
in that safe place
where pain & suffering no longer chase
Though your days here were brief
your spirit eternal alive, awake, complete
your mind forever sparkling
with wonder at every curious thing
Your love surrounds us
still, like dawn
quiet, awakening
beneath the dark
We find your presence
where beauty brightens
and kindness glows
where music echoes eternal tones
May you continue to inspire us
to enter each day with a generous heart
until we meet again
in the land where no one stays apart
