“A Little Light”

You were a whisper in the morning,
A dream we almost caught,
A promise softly spoken,
A life so dearly sought.

Your heartbeat was our music,
Your presence filled the air,
And though we never held you long,
Our love is always there.

The stars seemed just a bit more bright
The day you slipped away,
As heaven opened quiet arms
To cradle you and stay.

No footprints mark the earth below,
No laughter fills the room,
Yet in our hearts, your tiny spark
Has chased away the gloom.

We’ll carry you in every dawn,
In every sky of blue—
Our little light, forever born,
And always shining through.

“The Little Ladybird”

A ladybird landed soft today,
Upon my open hand,
Her tiny wings, a whisper’s grace,
From some far, gentler land.

She stayed a breath, then took to sky,
So delicate, so free,
And in that fleeting, scarlet glow,
I felt you here with me.

For though your time was far too brief,
Too light to touch the ground,
I see your love in little things,
In quiet all around.

Each ladybird that drifts my way,
Reminds me what is true—
That even smallest lives can leave
A world made bright by you.

We did our final journey with our beloved director, our Kayleigh.
We fulfilled every one of your wild, wonderful — and at times, completely ridiculous — expectations for your own farewell. But my goodness, we did you proud.

You leave behind a legacy of love. 🧡 💜
Keep directing us from above — your service here is complete now, and you can finally rest.

Rest easy with your Will.
We’ll make sure Spot and the whole Tiger family are taken care of. 🐯💫

Thank you, Kayleigh. Until we meet again.
