AfterglowI'd like the memory of meto be a happy one.I'd like to leave an afterglowof smiles when life is done,I'd like to leave an echowhispering softly down the ways,Of happy times and laughingtimes and bright andsummer days.I'd like the tears of those whogrieve, to dry before the sun,Of happy memories that I leaveWhen life is done.
