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.
