In Loving Memory of Marcos Shalawn Williams, Sr.

We whisper your name in the quiet,
and it answers like morning light.
Your laughter still warms our corners,
your love still holds us tight.

You walked this earth with kindness,
a steady, faithful friend—
a father's heart, a giver's hands,
a soul that did not bend.

You taught us how to keep our hope,
to lead with grace and care;
to meet each day with courage,
and find God's touch in prayer.

Though journeys part for a season,
your footprints show the way;
we'll carry your name like a banner
through every coming day.

And when the night feels longer,
we'll look where stars begin—
for love is a bridge to heaven,
till we see your smile again.
