Letting Jay's Fire Light the Way

"Letting Jay’s Fire Light the Way" (written by Michelle L. LeBlanc 01/04/2023) Dedicated to my son, Jayden Donald LeBlanc 07/14/2006 - 09/04/202 Today marks 4 months since you passed away And I want you to know I think of you each and every day I won't become hopeless or give up the fight You will always be my bright shining light Today I'm out walking and letting nature inspire I’m finding ways to refocus to reignite my fire I know this is something you would want each us to do You would certainly want us to find ways to keep pressing through Sometimes it's easy for us to lose sight, amidst all the pain But so important to keep perspective, of what’s still to obtain Like peace of mind and being thankful for those still in our lives And finding our smile and helping others learn to thrive So let’s find a way by changing our daily routines For Jay wouldn’t want us to give up on attaining our dreams ‘Get out there and live your life while you have your own Please don't seep into misery over my gravestone’ That's what he would want us to hear him say So let's look up and be inspired by him today Remember some days it may be one step at a time While other days, we might feel like we've fallen behind But the important thing is to never lose sight We can choose to let Jayden be our guiding light He certainly had so many dreams and goals He was known to be one of the beautiful souls Lots of energy, oh yes, he surely did have He always enjoyed sparking fun to get a good laugh His outgoing personality was so vibrant and strong Conversation was never difficult, when he came along He had a zeal to learn and to educate himself Yes, he wanted to get out there and grab life off the shelf So I'm refocusing my mind again today I hope you will join me…Letting Jay’s Fire Light the Way! . Jayden Donald LeBlanc 07/14/2006 - 09/04/2022
