I sat on the porch, the world stood still You’d find your way beside me, you always will I spoke of my dreams, the weight of my fears And in your silence, you calmed my tears Even as the years turned shadows to grey Your quiet presence never drifted away You were the light on my darkest days A steady heart in life’s wild maze Though the yard feels empty, the echo remains A bond unbroken, through joy and pain I remember the first time, the way you chose me Among the chaos, you were all I could see Through laughter and loss, you stayed near my side A guardian, a friend, a soul I confide Even now, when the world feels cold I close my eyes, and your warmth unfolds In the rustling leaves, in the quiet air I still feel your presence everywhere You were the light on my darkest days A steady heart in life’s wild maze Though the yard feels empty, the echo remains A bond unbroken, through joy and pain Now I sit alone, the world stills the same But the love you gave will forever remain
