Those We Love Don’t Go Away
Stars sway in the quiet night,
Memories linger in their light.
Cherished hearts, though far away,
In laughter, tears, and dreams, they stay.
Leaves rustle, breezes soft,
Presence felt in the calm aloft.
Each step, each breath, earth's vow,
Love’s essence here and now.
Echoes of music, words sweet,
Guiding light in challenges we meet.
Strength and wisdom by our side,
Unseen, yet felt, our guide.
Loved ones don't fade, unseen, unheard,
In joy, in woe, their spirits stirred.
World's beauty in each heart,
Love's flame, never to part.
