Be Yourself, Eternally True

Unchanged and true, your essence shall abide,
A beacon of yourself, where time will hide.
While death may claim your form, your spirit bright
Endures through others, shining forth in light.

Nature's gift, your beauty's fleeting grace,
A precious legacy, a sacred case.
Pass it with care, a heritage so grand,
To those who follow, in whose hands it'll stand.

Like homes well-tended, facing winter's wrath,
Your soul shall thrive, defying death's dark path.
Its breath, though cold, cannot extinguish flame,
For in their hearts, your memory remains.

When life's last chapter closes, let it be,
'I had a father!'—heritage to see.
In their embrace, your essence lives anew,
A testament to you, forever true.

Yet, why this pain, this agonizing plight?
Loneliness's call, an endless night?
The symphony of life - a bittersweet refrain to sing,
A haunting echo of what might have been.
