One fervent wish
With the last breath
No feats to accomplish
No regret at death
One simple intent
No actions to deplore
Nothing left to repent
Just an empty store
One crowning bequest
No anguish or worry
No remainder but dust
No need to be sorry
One ardent desire
No sorrows to lament
No spite and no ire
A purse that’s spent
One tour de force
No harsh words to rue
No cause for remorse
No residue
