WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU
When I must leave you for a little while
Please do not grieve ana shed wild tears
And hug your sorrows 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 things the same
Feed not your loneliness on empty days
But fill each waking hour in usefeul wavs,
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die
For I am waiting for you in the sky!
