In the silence of the morning, a whisper cuts the air,
A message cold and distant, a news too hard to bear.
Dreams built on dedication, now teetering on the brink,
A heart beats heavy, wondering what to think.
Hands that once were busy, now tremble in the void,
A future once so certain, now painfully destroyed.
Colleagues turned to family, faces etched with strife,
Together we once thrived, now fragments of a life.
Hope flickers dim, yet stubborn in the dark,
A search for new beginnings, a flame ignites a spark.
For even in this sorrow, strength will find its way,
In the wake of endings, dawns a brighter day.
