A Last Kiss for Eternity

Save the last light for me -
That wane spark in your eyes
Before you are set free,
While in your worldly guise.

At the close of your day,
At this hour grown so late,
Before you slip away
To your eternal fate,

Let me sing a final dream.
Before you set out on your own,
Upon a heavenward sunbeam,
Before you leave me all alone,

Let me send you reluctantly
Off unto your celestial role -
A last kiss for eternity,
To ease your fear and soothe your soul.
