These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.

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.
Of happy memories that I leave
when life is done.
