Evergreen Mementos

"As sunset's warmth descends upon the shore, We gather, friends and loved ones, forever more. The river's gentle voice, a soothing serenade, Echoes memories we've made, in joy and shade. Oh, fleeting moments, why must you depart? Leaving emptiness, a hollow in my heart. The ache of goodbye, a sorrow to abide, A longing that remains, long after you've stepped aside. Yet, in the silence, memories remain, Echoes of laughter, love, and joyous refrains. Though you may be gone, your presence stays, A bittersweet reminder of our fleeting days. In the stillness, I hold on to what's past, Cherishing the moments that forever will last."
