A year has come around
And your loss still feels profound
Yet in our hearts a light shines on
Knowing that your legacy lives on.
We will share the memories that were made
And the grace and kindness you conveyed
Gave us courage to fight unseen wars
Put our worries behind closed doors.
Your strength and laughter helped us on our way
Telling stories that taught us to break away
From the conundrum and fears of the complex world
That you experienced and observed.
So rest in peace where you belong
In Heaven where your soul still sings a song
With gratitude to God who lives on
And watches over us till our time is done.
