When I must 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 out bravely with a gallant smile , Andfor my sake and in His 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 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 waitingforyou in the sky.
-Helen Steiner Rice
