by Sasami

I knew you not, but the
Picture painted by those
Who have held you dear tells
Your story well. You give
Love freely, even to
Those not born of your blood,
And keep watch over those
You love and provide for
Them beyond the call of
Duty. You provide a
Sanctuary from storms,
Physical or any
Other form, and a light
Amidst petty darkness
Fostered by the world.

Your presence shall be missed
And your acts shall always
Be remembered in the
Hearts of those who love you.

Yet the spirit lives on,
Even if the body
Perishes, and all shall
Be together again
In Heaven's Paradise.
