In the garden of memory, a year has passed, Where echoes of your laughter forever will last. An intelligent lady, kind and so bright, Illuminating our lives, now a guiding light. A generous heart that touched every soul, Filling the world with joy, making us whole. Yet my heart hurts with the weight of this year, Missing your presence, so dear and sincere. In whispered winds, I still hear your voice, In every sunset, I see your choice— To spread love in the world, with a gentle hand, In our hearts forever, where your spirit will stand.
