AFTERGLOW

I'd like the Memory of me

to be a happy one,

I'd like to leave an afterglow

of smiles when life is done,

I'd like to leave an echo

whispering softly down the ways,

Of happy times

and laughing times

of bright and sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who grieve

to dry before the sun,

Of happy memories that I leave

when my life is done.
