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

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.

God saw she was getting tired

And a cure was not to be.

So He put His arms around you

And whispered, “Come with me.”

 With tearful eyes we watched you,

And saw you pass away.

Although we loved her dearly,

We could not make her stay.

 A golden heart stopped beating,

Hard working hands at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.
