Remembering Gina .....

I'd like the memory of me

To be a happy one.

I'd like to leave an afterglow

Of smiles when day is gone.

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.
