I’d like the memory of

Me To be a happy one.

I’d like To leave an

Afterglow of Smiles

When the day is done.

I’d like to leave an echo.

Whispering softly down

The Ways of happy times

And Laughing times and

Bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those

Who grieve to dry before

The Sun of happy memories

That I leave behind when

Day is done.
