When I must leave you for a little vhile, Please do not grieve and shed wild tears and hug your sorrow to you through the years But to start out braver/ vitii a gallant smile
And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all the things the same Feed not your loneliness on empty days 5ut fill each vorking hour in useful ways Beach out your hands in comfort and in cheer And I in turn Till comfort you and hold you near
And never, never be afraid to die For I am waiting for you in Uie sky.
