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.

We thought of you

With love today,

But that is nothing new.

We thought about

You yesterday,

And days before that too.

We think of you in silence,

We often speak your name.

Now all we have is memories

And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake

With which we’ll never part.

God has you in his keeping.

We have you in our heart.

Of happy memories that I leave...
