TRIBUTE

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 life is done.
I 'd like to leave an echo Whispering softly down the u>ays, Of happy timers and laughing times
And bright and sunny days. I 'd like the tears of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun O f happy memories that I leave
When my life is done. -Carol
