Sad Day

My Grandma's best friend passed away several days ago. She always made my siblings and I cookies near the holidays (she loved baking,) and was like a third grandmother to us. Her funeral was this morning, and I thought I would post the poem that was printed on the back of the service program.

After Glow

I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
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
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.
