Id like the memory of me to be a happj one.
Id like to leave an after glow of smiles when life is done .
Id like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and liugnuig times
and bright and sunny days. Id like the tears of thc.x who grieve,
to dry before tke sun , Of happy memories that I leave
when life is done .
