Last Words to Mom
Beneath the maple’s tender shade,
We shared our final summer's day.
Soft words flew on a gentle breeze,
Carried aloft with trembling ease.
Mom, your laughter echoes still,
Around the leaves, the air it fills.
Hands clasped tight, the sun set low,
Silent stories only we know.
Your wisdom falling like the leaves,
Each one caught, a memory weaves.
Tears that glisten like morning dew,
Reflecting the love I found in you.
With each leaf that drifts and twirls,
I find strength, as the world unfurls.
So rest now, under quilted skies,
Where your spirit freely flies.
Remembered under this arched bough,
Mom, I feel your presence now.
And as the seasons ebb and flow,
Here, your love continues to grow.

A Journey Through the Stars
In the night, we took to flight,
Stars our guide, shining bright.
Through the cosmos, hand in hand,
Over stardust, silver sand.
Galaxies spun, just us two,
Mom, each light whispered of you.
Past Orion's steady gaze,
Through the Milky Way's soft haze.
Your laughter in the meteor trails,
Love enduring, never fails.
Constellations tell our tale,
In the stars, you never pale.

A Goodbye at Sea
Waves clasp the ashes,
Sea’s arms, wide and open,
Carry you beyond.
Horizon holds your smile,
Sunset blends with your light,
Day meets the night's calm.

Gulls cry our parting song,
Echoes of our bond.
Deep blues merge with skies,
Your spirit sails free,
In tides, you linger on.
