a light shines in all of us
in some brighter than in others
and for some all too briefly
your light has been put out
far too soon
and the darkness touches us all
your light was bright and warm
it reached to the corners of the earth
it touched so many
in your memory we touch each other
in your memory we'll send a book around the globe
in your memory we'll bask as cats in sunlight
and now we must go on
without your light
but with the memory of your brightness shining in us
