May the road rise to meet you.

May the rains fall upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal…..”

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 sunny days. 
I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun, 
Of happy memories that I leave when my life is done
