Tribute
Cynthia's love toward us Is like the sun in man y ways
It wards off darkness And brighte ns our days
Singular in number, Simultaneously shines o n many
Unique in a ll the world A love like hers, there's not any
Commanding one's attention Can' t ignore it if you tried
From its illuminating brightness One certainly cannot hide
A love so bi g Far and wide-reaching Selfless in its giving Just by being, always teaching
It takes no thought Of what it has to gain By allowing its own warmth To dry up a storm's rain
And just like the sun ln whose radiance we love to bask
Enjoying the light it brings Without ever having to ask
Before we even realize lt has begun to set
And we're not ready for the day To be over, not just yet
We wanted it to stay here Just a little while more As we sadly watch it
Disappear beyond the shore
For evening's time has come We can no longer behold her face But rest assured her work continues
In another time and place
Though right now our hearts are heavy And our eyes are filled with tears
We all have fond memories to share Enough to last for years
