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.
- Helen Lowrie Marshall 1954
23rd Psalm
The Lord is my Shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters;
He restoreth my soul;
He leadeth me in the paths
Of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For Thou art with me.
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me
Thou preparest a table before me
In the presence of mine enemies;
Thou anointest my head with oil,
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house
of the Lord
Forever.
