“Each Life is a Song”

By Charles F. Little, Jr

 

A life is like a song we write

In our own tone and key,

Each life we touch reflects a note

That forms the melody.

 

We choose the theme and chorus

Of the song to bear our name,

And each will have a special sound,

No two can be the same.

 

So when someone we love departs,

In memory we find

Their song plays on within the hearts

Of those they leave behind.

 

 

Afterglow

I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when my 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 life is done.
