After Glow 
Id like the memory of me 
to be a happy 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 laughing times 
and bright and sunny days. 
Id like the tears of those who grieve, 
to dry before the sun 
of happy memories 
That I leave when life is done.
