The photographs fade, the years rush on by But the light in your memory won't ever die I hear your deep laughter, I see your steady hand The foundation you built on this shifting, uncertain land You didn't leave silver, you didn't leave gold But a treasure of stories that will never grow old Your name is a whisper, a strength in my soul A compass to guide me and make me feel whole A legacy etched in humility and grace With wisdom and purity that time can't erase You live on in every choice, in every honest word Your name and your legacy, forever in my heart, are heard I look at my children, I see the same spark The light you first kindled now shining in the dark The lessons you modeled, the pure way you stood A gift I must pass on, misunderstood No end to this story, no final goodbyes Just the truth of your spirit reflected in their eyes Forever in my heart, I will carry your name A gentle reminder, an eternal flame Your name and your legacy Forever in my heart
