AFTER GLOW 
I' D LIKE THE MEMORY OF ME TO BE A HAPPY ONE; I' D LIKE TO LEAVE AN AFTERGLOW OF SMILES WHEN LIFE 
IS DONE. I' D LIKE TO LEAVE AN ECHO WHISPERING SOFTLY DOWN THE WAYS, OF HAPPY TIMES AND 
LAUGHING TIMES AND BRIGHT AND SUNNY DAYS. I' D LIKE THE TEARS OF THOSE WHO GRIEVE, TO DRY 
BEFORE THE SUN, OF HAPPY MEMORIES THAT I LEAVE WHEN LIFE IS DONE.
