Forever Alive

opening those hazel eyes
one last time to soak up her world
to gaze upon the loves of her life
before taking a final breath

leaving a heavens worth of memories
breaking familiar habits with her departure
creating an ocean of tears
for all those who loved her

leaving generations in grief
this woman came as a pair
still wearing her eternity ring
her soul mate eternally there

living on in her best friend
trusting him to look after their home
their personal heaven, the world they built
knowing he will never be alone

the family they created
have a lifetime of memories
keeping her beauty alive
with a mountain of stories

this cruel world can hurt us
when leaving this glimpse of time
but our hearts will stay strong
and you will forever be here in my eyes
