Afterglow

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

of happy times and laughing

times and bright and sunny days.

who grieve, to dry before the sun.

Of happy memories that I leave

when life is done.

When you awake in the morning’s hush

I am the swift uplifting rush,

Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starlight at night,
