In a world where laughter shone so bright,
Lived a man with a heart of light.
Always smiling, his spirit soared,
A beacon of warmth, deeply adored.

He loved the light, he loved the cheer,
His presence made shadows disappear.
With a heart that sacrificed for the rest,
He fought for others, gave his best.

Running high on joyful ground,
Dancing freely, smiles unbound.
But into a forest of loneliness he strayed,
Where memories lingered, shadows played....
