Description
I listened to your heartsong,
Almost three years ago.
You spoke of love and happiness,
Things only children know.
There was meaning in your heartsong,
I understood it loud and clear.
Like a secret, sacred message,
Whispers only I could hear.
I cried over your heartsong,
It struck the essence of my being.
Something inside me awoke,
Like a blind man, finally seeing.
Your hardships wrote your heartsong,
This is something I understand.
When you felt like you could barely hold a pen,
You let the tears guide your hand.
I'll never forget your heartsong,
In a way I'm glad you're free.
I just hope that others heard your song
As I heard you sing it to me.

In loving memory
