After Glow
I 'd like the memory o f me To be a happy one
I 'd like to leave an afterglow O f smiles when day is done.
I 'd like to leave an echo Whispering softly down the ways, O f happy times and laughing times
A n d bright and sunny days.
I 'd like the tears o f those who grieve To dry before the sun
O f happy memories I leave behind When life is done.
-- CAROL M1RKEL
