One Wish For The Afterglow

One wish is all I have.
One wish before I go.
One wish for you who stay.
One wish for the 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:
the sunlight of happy memories
that I'll leave when life is done.
