In quiet whispers of the dawn, A soul departed, now is gone. Silent echoes in the heart, Where his laughter played its part. He walked the earth with gentle grace, Left tender marks in every place. In every smile and teary eye, His spirit soared, it can't deny. A bridge of friends, he did create, A tapestry of love innate. Though the end came unannounced, His legacy forever counts. In memories clad with light, He touched our lives, a star so bright. Though unexpected was the night, He lingers still, within our sight.
