You’re gone. The candle’s burnt out; there is darkness in the cave.
But, for those of us who still have our lives to pave,
Your memories illuminate our way,
Through them you live on , though your body may decay,
Through them shines your smile,
Empowering us with the strength to overcome any trial.
Though your body may decay, your soul lives on.
Eternal and everlasting, fuelled by your kindness, your generosity,
Your inexhaustible patience. That is why, I refuse to weep and live forlorn,
I choose to remember how you lived, not how you died, for , to me you found the secret to immortality.
