Afterglow
I'd like the ntentory of me to be a happy one,
I'd like to leave an afterglow of sntiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
ofhappy tintes and laughing ti1nes and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve To dn; before the sun
ofhappy ntentories that I leave When life is done.
The Reverend Michael Baldwin Officiating
