🕊️ My Godmother

By Morning Star

Don’t close your eyes to tomorrow—
Live each day and remember me.
Don’t bow your head in sorrow—
Smile, for I am memory.

Wake each day, for I cannot.
Make it count—don’t let it rot.
Smile that I once walked beside,
Don’t waste a tear now that I’ve died.

I’m not here—but still I stay,
In every laugh, in light of day.
Make new memories.
Live them free.
Keep me tucked
inside your heartbeat—
And find the strength
to go on
for me.
