Afterglow

I’d like the memory of me

To be a happy one

I’d like to leave an afterglow

Of smiles when day 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 teams of those who

Grieve to dry before the

Sun of happy memories

That I leave behind when

Day is done.

In loving Memory of Martha Ann – Nan Nan
