How lucky am I to carry your soul’s memory, A treasure woven into the tapestry of my being. Each day, a silent echo of your gentle grace, Each moment, a whisper of your enduring embrace.
To see with eyes you once shared with the world, To glimpse beauty through the lens you unfurled. The colors brighter, the shadows kinder, Inheritances of a vision only you could render.
To adopt your morals, steadfast and true, Guiding stars in all I pursue. Your kindness a beacon, your courage my song, Your wisdom my compass as I journey along.
Though you’re beyond the reach of my arms, You live in my laughter, my heart, my calm. How lucky am I, to forever hold you near, In the depths of my soul, you remain so clear.
