"Letting Jay’s Fire Light the Way"

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
So I'm continuing to find ways to press on through
Sometimes it's easy for us to lose sight, amidst all the pain
But so important to keep perspective of all we can obtain
Like peace of mind and being thankful for those still in our lives
Or 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
For Jayden is always there to be our guiding light
He certainly had so many dreams and goals
He was known to be one of the most 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 once again today
Hoping you will join me in Letting Jay’s Fire Light the Way!
