After Glow

I wish there is an after glow For all the world to see When I am dead and buried and That’s all that’s left of me. I hope it is a lovely light That lasts for quite a while. May all of those who see it think Of times I made them smile. May they always be reminded Of times we laughed and cried And may they know without a doubt I’m always by their side. Yes, I wish those that look upon This warm and gentle light Have peace throughout all of the day And comfort through the night. I hope I’ll always be remembered When people see this glow. I don’t want to be forgotten ’Cause that would hurt me so. I hope this light, it is a sign Of all good things I’ve done Because Lord knows I did my best To love, yes, everyone. I wish there is an after glow For all the world to see When I am dead and buried and That’s all that’s left of me.
