From the recording Old Soul, New Grove
Lyrics
In the quiet of the night, whispers of memories unfold
A tender breeze carries stories, some new and some old
Her name was Esther, my sister, my heart’s own guide
With arms wide open, she walked by my side
She wore kindness like a crown, a light in every room
Her laughter was a melody that chased away the gloom
Every hug a fortress, every word a balm
She held the world together, a soothing, gentle calm
Now the stars shine brighter, she dances in the skies
An angle watching over, with love that never dies
Oh, Esther, you’re the heartbeat in the lives you touched
Though sorrow fills our soul, your memory means so much
Always loving, always caring, a heart without a chain
She taught us how to cherish, to laugh through every pain
She never sought for glory or fortune made of gold
Just riches in the spirit, a warmth that will never fold
In every gentle movement, in every silent prayer
Esther lives within us, her essence everywhere
Now the stars shine brighter, she dances in the skies
An angle watching over, with love that never dies
Oh, Esther, you’re the heartbeat in the lives you touched
Though sorrow fills our souls, your memory means so much
Her spirit is the laughter that echoes in the breeze
The love that we remember, the strength that never flees
She never asked for riches, only gave her heart away
Now she’s up in heaven, guiding us each day
Children’s laughter dances, a reminder of her grace
In every act of kindness, we see her smiling face
Her legacy’s a river, flowing through every soul
In our hearts, she remains, forever making us whole
Now the stars shine brighter, she dances in the skies
An angle watching over, with love that never dies
Oh, Esther, you’re the heartbeat in the lives you touched
Though sorrow fills our souls, your memory means so much
So we hold her in the silence, and cherish every tear
For Esther, our sweet angel, will always be so near
In the beauty of the moments, in the love we share anew
We carry her forever, in everything we do
