Ushers 
When 1 come to the end of my journey 
And I travel my last weary mile, 
Just forget, if you can, that 1 ever frowned, 
And remember only my smile. 
Forget the unkind words I have spoken, 
Remember some good I have done. 
Forget that I ever had heartaches 
And remember Vve had loads of fun. 
Forget that I have stumbled and blundered, 
and sometimes fell by the way, 
Remember I have fought some hard battles, 
And won, ere the close of the day. 
Then forget to grieve for my going; 
I would not have you sad for a day. 
But in Summer just gather some flowers, 
And remember the place where I lay. 
And come itt the evening 
When the sun paints the sky in the west; 
Stand for a moment beside me, 
And remember only my best. 
Acknowledgments
