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.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-5 There is a time for everything, A season for every activity under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die, A time to plant and a time to uproot, A time to kill and a time to heal, A time to tear down and a time to build, A time to weep and a time to laugh, A time to mourn and a time to dance.
