A Poem for a Dearly Departed Uncle
The silence echoes where your laughter rang, A vacant chair, a story left unsang. Your absence weighs, a heavy, quiet grief, A missing piece, beyond all brief relief.
We gather now, beneath the autumn's hue, Remembering you, kind, gentle, and true. Your wisdom shared, a guiding, steady hand, A legacy of love across the land.

Memories Woven in Golden Thread
I see your smile, a sunbeam in the rain, Your helping hand, easing all my pain. The fishing trips, the stories you would tell, Adventures shared, a magic, potent spell.
Your hearty laugh, a comfort in the night, A beacon bright, dispelling darkest plight. Though gone from sight, your spirit will remain, A cherished memory, easing every pain.

A Legacy of Strength and Grace
The world feels less vibrant, subtly changed, A quiet sorrow, deeply rearranged. But in our hearts, your spirit finds its place, A guiding light, a strength we can embrace.
Your gentle soul, a whisper on the breeze, Amongst the leaves, rustling through the trees. We'll carry on, with memories so dear, And keep you close, year after year.

Farewell, Until We Meet Again
Though tears may fall, and sadness may reside, Your love remains, a constant, faithful guide. Farewell, dear Uncle, until we meet once more, On some far shore, where grief is felt no more.
