Donald Keith Cooper

I'd like the memory of me

to be a happy one.

I'd like to leave an afterglow

of smiles when my life is done.

I'd like to leave an echo

whispering softly down the ways.

Of happy times and laughing

times and bright sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who

grieve, to dry before the sun.

Of happy memories that

I leave when life is done.
