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.
Your life was love and labour,
Your love for your family true,
You did your best for all of us,
We will always remember you
