I'd like the memories 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 of 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 this life is done.

Loved and missed every moment, 
Your heartbroken family.
