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
