A Highland Gathering Poem Verses

Let us gather, hearts entwined,
To celebrate a life, that once did shine,
Our dear friend, a soul so bright,
A testament to love, and Highland light.

We'll share our memories, laugh and cry,
Recount the moments, days gone by,
Their spirit lingers, a gentle breeze,
A life well-lived, forever at ease.

With joy and sorrow, we'll raise our voice,
In honor of the life, that was their choice,
Our dear friend, a love so true,
A Highland gathering, in skies so blue.
