I'd like to leave an after glow 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 summer 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. ~Helen Lowrie Marshall
