Your voice touched my heart

Your words chilled my soul

Negate that which you can

Steel your thoughts with hope

Reminisce about all goodness

Free your mind of dark shadows

Believe the strength of your soul

Know there is more than one path

You have shown kindness to all

Unselfishly you gave of yourself

All positives you can be proud of

Rays of empathy directed your way

Family and  friends together stand

Extending their hearts, hopes, hands

Knowing that no matter what may be

Your great love is now a part of us.
