A spirit so bright, in a shell unforeseen,
A world lived in whispers, unseen, unheard, between.
Age the frame, but a child's heart did reside,
Innocence aglow, with a soul open wide.

We went hand in hand, on paths meant to roam,
Your laughter, a melody, a language your own.
Though words unspoken, your eyes held the key,
A love overflowing, for all the world to see.

Now the silence...
