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 behind when life is done.

Submitted in memory of both Penny Teal, my cousin, and
Chris, our beloved grandson. You each brought fun and
happiness to those who knew and loved you.
