For My Beloved Aunt

I lost you like the sun at dusk, Softly fading, slipping from us. Your laughter echoes in my heart, A melody that won’t depart. You were the warmth in every room, A light that softened every gloom. With gentle hands and open heart, You held us close, a work of art. I still see you in quiet things— In songs, in stars, in what love brings. Your voice a whisper in the breeze, Your kindness woven in the trees. Though you are gone, you linger still, In memories that time can’t kill. And though I ache to feel you near, Your spirit shines in every tear. For love like yours can never die, It spreads like wings across the sky. In all the lives you touched with grace, You live on in each warm embrace.
