When 1 Must Leave You
When 1must 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 our 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 useful ways 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!

"Mama, I Will Never Forget"
I will always love you and miss you, As you will never leave my thoughts.
The vision of such sweetness, You will always be in my heart.
Thinking back, reminiscing, In every way how you touched my life.
Just thinking of that smile, Shouldn't leave one tear in my eyes. God called you home to be with Him,
One day I will see you again, And every day as I pray
Reunite the family and friends. As I say good-bye to you,
I know that God has you with Him at peace. I will remember all the good times
And those memories will set me at ease. Sleep in heavenly peace,
For He has already died for our sins, I love you Mama
And I will miss you forever!
Your Daughter
