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 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.

Love Lives On

Those we love remain with us,
for Love itself lives on.
Cherished memories never fade;
because one loved is gone.
Those we love can never be

more than a thought apart,
for as long as there's a memory
they live on in our heart.
Think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched,
for nothing loved is ever lost,
and she was loved so much.Author Unknown
