Afterglow

I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.

I'l 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 bright and sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who grieve

to dry before the sun

with happy memories

that I leave when this life is done.
