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.
