 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!
