Laughter in the Shadows Poem Verses

In the shadows of our hearts, we'll find a smile,
Remembering the times, that made life worthwhile,
For the parent we've lost, the laughter we shared,
In the moments of joy, when you truly cared.

We'll tell the tales, the jokes you'd create,
The memories of laughter, we'll lovingly relate,
Through the tears and the sorrow, we'll find a way,
To cherish the humor, that once brightened our day.

Laughter in the shadows, a memory so dear,
A tribute to the parent, we once held near,
In the midst of our grief, let laughter ring,
For the joy you brought, forever will cling.
