My precious boy, now gone too soon

Your brief life, a flickering candle

That lit my world before being snuffed out

Leaving me in darkness and grief.

I cling to memories like lifelines -

Your sweet smile, your joyful laugh -

Etched on my heart forever,

Filling the vacuum of loss.

My beautiful son, though far from sight

Your spirit lives within my sorrow,

Turning grief's bitter cup to wine,

Reminding me -

Love is stronger than death, life,

Legacies matter more than the length of days.

So I'll carry your memory always, my boy

Letting your brief light

Continue shining within me,

Guiding me home.
