When I Must Leave You
When I must leave you fo r a little while, please do not grieve and shed wild tears, and hug your sorrow to you thru the years, but start out heavenly with a gallant smile. And fo r my sake, and in my name, live on and do all things the same. Feed not your loneliness on empty days, butfill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in com fo rt and cheer, and I in turn will comfort you and hold you near. And
never, never be afraid to die, fo r I am waiting fo r you in the sky.
