Grateful for the Light Poem Verses

In the darkest of times, your love shone bright,
A beacon of hope, in the endless night,
Though you're gone, your love we'll hold,
A cherished memory, a story untold.

For every moment, every laugh and tear,
We'll be grateful for the love, we once held near,
In the silence of our hearts, your love will grow,
A testament of strength, in the sorrow we know.

Thank you, dear parent, for the love you gave,
For the lessons you taught, for the path you paved,
Grateful for the light, your memory we'll keep,
In our hearts, your love, forever will seep.
