I Died

I died, and with me all that I had known My memories and dreams, now turned to dust The world I loved, now empty and alone A life once lived, now gone without a fuss But in the quiet stillness of the night I hear a voice that whispers in my ear Your legacy will always shine so bright For all the love and kindness that you share And so, though I have left this mortal plane My spirit lingers on, forevermore In every heart that I have touched, I reign A beacon of hope, and love, and more So let not tears of sorrow cloud your eye For I am with you, always, in the sky.
