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 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 when life is done.
