Today, the world grew quieter, still
A gentle soul has left the hill
The hands that shaped so much of me
Now rest beneath the silent tree.
His voice, once strong, now fades away,
But in my heart, it still will stay
The laughter shared, the wisdom passed,
A love that even death, cant outlast
The years were kind, though time was brief,
He leaves behind a quiet grief
Yet in each tear, a memory gleams,
A thread of hope within our dreams
The world moves on, as world will do,
But something shifts when we lose you
No longer will your footsteps sound,
Yet in my heart, you'll still be found
Though your chair is empty, your love is near,
In every quiet moment, I'll feel you here
A light has gone, but I still see,
Your love lives on inside of me
