Poem by Anonymous

 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. Keep my memory with you, for memories never die; I will be there with you, when you look across the sky. I will be there in the clouds, in the birds that fill the air; In the beauty of a fragrant rose, you will find my memory there.
