'When I Must Leave you
When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve and shed wild tears,
And hug your sorrow 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 thing the same
Feed not your loneliness on empty days
But fill each waking hour in useful ways,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
And I in turn w ill comfort you and hold you near,
And never, never be afraid to die
For I am waiting for you in the sky! Children and Grandchildren
