Afterglow

Author:  Anonymous

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,

Whispering softly down the ways,

Of happy times and laughing times

And bright and summer days.

I'd like the tears of those who grieve

To dry before the sun

Of happy memories that I leave

When life is done.
