BECAUSE HE LIVES
When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears
And hug your sqrrow to you through the years.
But start out bravely with a gallant smile.
And for my sake and in my name
Live on and do all t~i~gs the same
Feed not your lonelines~ on empty days,
But fill each waking hour in useful ways.
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
And I i n turn will comfort you and hold you near.
And never, never be afraid to die
For I am waiting for you in the sky!
-Helen Steiner Rice
