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

I’d like to leave an Afterglow of smiles when day 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

behind when day is done.
