The light and my legacy
The light is my way
The light is good
The dark is bad, but not all the time
In the light I can see
You’re so beautiful
I can see a beautiful rainbow
I can see birds flying high above
We need the light to see
To see each other
In the dark we can see the stars and the moon, but then I can’t see you
The light brings me joy
You can lose track of time in the light, especially when it is light 20 hours of the day
The light brings warmth
The dark brings cold
The light blooms flowers
Flowers from me to you
I hope to brighten your day
Some people see a white light and live to talk about it
That is when I am going to stay away from that bright light
Do not go into that light
I will fight before going
When it is time to go into that good light I hope I am old
I hope I put up a good fight
I hope I was able to mark off my bucket list
I hope I have left my legacy behind
Behind to brighten someone else’s day
Let’s survive as long as we can and tell our legacy
I hope my husband does not follow me into that light
I hope he can survive and live longer
The light is good
The light can be bad if seen way too early
The light can be full of beautiful colors
Let the light shine on you and guide you
Live life bright and full
Except the light of the day
Make your legacy count
