Afterglow

I saw this taped into a sympathy card that Kitty & Bob sent to Mom/Gma after your accident:

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 tmes

and bright and sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who grieve,

to dry before the sun

Of happy memories that I have

when life is done.
