The Mterglow
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. Ofhappy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dn; before the sun.
Of hnppy memories that I leave when life is done.
