Love is your legacy

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



Love is your legacy
It once shined deep inside of thee
Your open heart - it was set free
Now it beams - its light
from within me

Love is your legacy
So sweet, refined and sparkly
Its innocence now full of glee
I gave it back
to see - your equity

Love is your legacy
A light so bright with dignity
Insight - so incredibly;
again I feel
your true belief in me

Love is your legacy
So warm it solders I love yous
From me to you and you to me
Oh won't you shine
for all the love to be

Love is your legacy
In every second I find thee
And speak to you so secretly;
delicately on the breeze
See the precious signs
again from me

Love is your legacy
Upon the breath of light in holy nights
A star of ecstasy
Send me peace and empathy

Love is your legacy
Upon wings of infinity
Reveal your light again for me
Together we'll rebuild the galaxy
