Your face dives and soars
Through the mist of time

So long ago you left
This tangible world
But your eyes still laugh
When the joke is right
And your presence lingers
In the deep of night

Your spirit lives on
In the hearts of children

So long ago you fell
To the eventual tide
But your smile still gleams
When life is going good
And your soul haunts me
In my lonely thoughts

Your family remembers
In levity and love

So long ago you were silenced
By the hands of Fate
But you are not gone
From our thoughts or lives
And you will be there
For you were never really gone
