Her Gold Footprints...
  13 summers of highways have been engraved on her feet
  more are to come before her life would be deemed complete
  the Himalayas would be, far more easier to climb
  as she learns happiness, does not come without strife
  all the loves she’s lost, all the loves that she had gained
  some lights turned off, but more remained
  she looked back at the years, with smiling tears on her face
  how we wish we could, now call out her name!
  three months have gone before I gathered the strength to spin this song
  To think that for sorrow to dissipate it would take this long!
  But then I recall her wish…that our lives be success
  recollecting her life as I gaze at her gold footprints
  They were always there, she was always here!
  but the last of her, is now engraved in the earth
  so I’ll retrace her…immortal gold footprints
  so one day mine own, will have their own
  she was of different wood, but our branches once met
  of distant blood, but I treasured her more yet
  the smile she had, her laugh is echoing
  as her golden highways…have reached their ending

I dedicate this poem to a close relative of a close relative who I knew particulartly well and who had recently passed away. She was an amazing individual who was very hardworking and I wish for the best for her in the next life.
