After Glow

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 and 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 when life is done
