My Legacy
As evening ends the sun shall set
And then, will come the dark.
Forgive my soul every debt
As my candle looses spark.
In the night, burn no light
Do not seek my souls return.
Weep not for me and have no fright
No ties to earth, I've earned.
As morning breaks my shadow cast
No more upon the ground.
When I am gone and breathed my last
No more my voice will sound.
Then in the still of the night
When loneliness surrounds
Review our life with all your might
Shared love of which we found.
This is my entire legacy
I leave to you my dear,
Your love was salvation for me
Upon this grinding mortal sphere.
