Shine

To see one glow so brightly with wit and humor

is such a gift that most unknowingly receive.

Unassuming compassion and empathy

is the utmost form of humanity.

While I find sorrow in knowing the acquaintance must come to an end,

I vow to remember it as long as my strength allows me to,

and hope that one day I can emulate at least

a tenth of the warmth unto others when the time comes.
