When I Must Leave
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,
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 cheer
And I in turn will comfort and hold you near.
And never, never be afraid to die
For I am waiting for you in the sky.
Acknowledgement
The family of the late Mrs. Ann Walker thanks all of you for
your visits and prayers during her illness, and w^e extend grateful
appreciations for all acts of kindness showm in this our time of
bereavement.
