Afterglow
I'd like the memory ofme to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow ofsmiles 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 dry before the sun ofhappy memories that I leave when life is done.
