Joshua Hardaman, III

Please don’t weep too long for me,
Though I know your hearts are torn.
I have only gone ahead of you,
Into a place where peace is born.

Mama, I still feel your love,
It reaches me beyond the sky.
So when your tears begin to fall,
Just know—I’m still nearby.

I am the whisper in the morning breeze,
The calm within the rain,
The gentle warmth of sunlight’s touch
That eases every pain.

To my family and all my friends,
Please carry love, not sorrow.
Cherish every laugh, every hug,
And keep hope for tomorrow.

Though my time on earth felt far too brief,
My life was not in vain.
For every heart I touched with love
Will keep my light aflame.

So remember me with smiles and joy,
Not only with goodbye.
For love like ours can never end—
It lives… it does not die.

Until we meet again one day,
When all is made brand new,
Be still, find peace, and know with faith—
I’m watching over you.

With love always,
Joshua
