Love's Painting

Your selfless soul is leaving
and our hollowed hearts are bound
you leave behind this world
without uttering a sound
Your faith and thoughtful nature
a beacon shining bright
lest no sadness be our soul mate
but your smile, the guiding light
You've lived a life of giving
thinking nothing of sacrifice
if it meant that you'd be offering
relief to others' strife
You graced the lives of many
in your gentle touching way
Grasp firmly all our love
for we know you can not stay
and as our heavy hearts are sinking
to the soles of weary feet
we stamp the ground with heart prints
painting love upon the street
