A somber silence fills the air,

As tears fall freely, in despair.

A heart once full, now heavy with grief,

As death's cold touch brings only disbelief.

Oh, how cruel is the hand of fate,

That snatches loved ones, leaving an empty plate.

No words can express the pain that's felt,

As we bid farewell to those who've dwelt.

In memories, they live forever,

In our hearts, their presence, we endeavor.

But in this moment, the emptiness is real,

A void that nothing can truly heal.

Gone too soon, their time cut short,

Leaving us with memories, a bittersweet retort.

The laughter, the love, the cherished moments shared,

Now etched in our hearts, with utmost care.

Yet in the midst of sorrow, a glimmer of light,

For their soul transcends, to a realm so bright.

In the embrace of eternal sleep, they find peace,

A final rest, a sweet release.

Though they're physically not here anymore,

Their spirit lingers, forevermore.

Their legacy lives on, in stories and tales,

As we navigate a world where their presence fails.

So let us remember, with love so deep,

The ones we've lost, in eternal sleep.

Though they're gone, their love remains,

In our hearts, it forever sustains.

So, let us cherish life and hold dear,

The ones we love, so precious and near.

For in the end, it's love that transcends,

Even beyond death's solemn amends.
