In the silence of the night, memories ignite, Lost in the echoes, where shadows take flight. Faces of the past, in my mind they reside, Dead relatives, their stories won’t subside. Through the pain and the tears, in the midnight air, Legacy lives on, a flame we declare. Whispers of guidance, in the stars they align, In the rhythm of my heart, their spirits intertwine. Through the struggles and the strife, they paved the way, Their essence lives strong, in the words I say. Gone but not forgotten, in the verses I recite, A tribute to the ones who left the earthly light. In the verses and the beats, their essence I weave, In the rhythm of my soul, their memories cleave. A rap for the departed, a tribute in the rhyme, In the echoes of the past, their spirits chime.
