When you are gone the light remains
It hums through laughter breath and rains
The world recalls your gentler part
Through echoes carried by the heart
No monument no marble name
Can outshine love that burned the same
A tender word a helping hand
Outlasts the years outshines the land
You may forget yet life will keep
The warmth you sowed in hearts so deep
The flame you lit in quiet care
Still burns in places unaware
Live not for praise or fleeting fame
But for the light that keeps your name
For when you leave the truest sign —
Is love that stays and still aligns
