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!
