I'd like the memory of me
To be a happy one.

I'd like to leave an after
Glow 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.
