I’d like the memory of me

To be a happy one.

I’d like to leave an afterglow

Of smiles when the day is done.

I’d like to leave an echo

Whispering softly down the ways,

Of happy times, and laughing times

and bright sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve

to dry before the sun

Of happy memories that I leave

Behind when the day is done.
