(Tribute Song) Sylva P made it
Hmmmm…
Some lives don’t just live… they shine…
And when they leave, the light still speaks…
We gather here with heavy hearts today
Words feel small for the things we wanna say
Tristram Oswen Ahari, a name so strong
A father’s love where we all belong
You stood like a mountain through every storm
A shelter where broken hearts were warm
Your hands were peace, your voice was home
Now we feel the silence in every tone
Oh death, why do you take the ones who give?
The ones who teach us how to truly live?
But even now, we feel you near
In every tear, in every prayer here
Tristram… your love still remains
Like gentle rain that soothes our pain
You may be gone from mortal sight
But your name still burns like eternal light
Oh Tristram… we cry your name
But heaven now calls you by the same
Sleep in peace, your work was done
A father’s race, a kingdom won
We see your smile in your children’s eyes
Your wisdom lives, it never dies
Every lesson, every sacrifice
Still guides us through this earthly life
You gave more love than words could hold
A heart of warmth, more pure than gold
Even the wind seems to whisper your name
And nothing in us will stay the same
If love could build a bridge to bring you back
We’d walk that road and never look back
But heaven knew you needed rest
So God called home one of His best
Tristram… your love still remains
Like gentle rain that soothes our pain
Though tears may fall like endless rain
Your legacy will still remain
Oh Tristram… we cry your name
But heaven now calls you by the same
Rest in peace, your work was done
A father’s light that never is gone
Hmmmm…
A father never truly leaves…
He becomes the light we feel…
Forever…
