FernStrong

You always put our family above it all

A gentle spirit answering the call

I cherished the years we spent together

A bond of love that nothing could untether

You had a quiet way of walking through this life

A steady calm against the noise and strife

My beautiful son, you left me too soon

Gone like a shadow in the afternoon

But your legacy will live in every heart that met you

An inspirational soul, so steady and true

You are forever in my heart, right where you belong

My gentle leader, my FernStrong

When shadows fell and the days grew heavy

You were the one who kept the waters steady

You’d smile and tell me, "Don't worry, be happy"

That sweet refrain still washes over me

You led with grace, you never had to shout

That’s what your guidance was always about

My beautiful son, you left me too soon

Gone like a shadow in the afternoon

But your legacy will live in every heart that met you

An inspirational soul, so steady and true

You are forever in my heart, right where you belong

My gentle leader, my FernStrong

I close my eyes and I can hear your voice

Through the quiet tears, you help me make the choice

To keep on going, to let your memory shine

To hold the strength you left and keep it as mine

I wasn't ready for the final goodbye

But I feel your presence in the evening sky

My beautiful son, you left me too soon

Gone like a shadow in the afternoon

But your legacy will live in every heart that met you

An inspirational soul, so steady and true

You are forever in my heart, right where you belong

My gentle leader, my FernStrong
