Gone Too Soon -Jimi

A tribute to a soul that walked in faith, fought with grace, and loved without end.

My dear Jimi

You always knew the when and how,
Which prayer to whisper, which sacred vow.
You read the skies with faithful eyes,
And brought such peace when storms would rise.

A gentle soul, yet fierce and wise,
With love that never wore disguise.
A daughter’s pride, a sister’s grace,
A wife, a mother, heart’s embrace.

We dreamt of places yet to see,
Of lands to wander, you and me.
You spoke of skies and distant shore,
But heaven called you home before.

You fought with strength, so quietly deep,
And gave the world more than you’d keep.
A compass when I lost my way,
Your voice still guides me every day.

Too soon you left, yet still you stay,
In every light, in every way.
And though you are gone beyond my view,
Some goodbyes echo all life through.

I just wish I’d met you for a last time,
To feel your warmth, your soul, your shine.
But angels move beyond the grasp of time.

Forever loved.
Forever missed.
Forever you.
