To be remembered

If you want to be remembered
to linger in a mind,
it takes more than outer beauty,
or so you'll find.

You have to contain an inner warmth,
an ability to care,
and a little bit of mystery,
a quality that's rare.

We must have a love for others,
a certain something others don't possess,
it must radiate a beautiful glow,
from inner happiness.
