When I must leave you for a little while please don't grieve
and shed wild tears and hug your sorrow thru the years, but
start out bravely with a gallant smile and for my sake and in
my name live and do all things the same; Ive lived my life and
done my best, so can I take that step beyond: and set my spirit
free. I did not want to go at first, I fought with all my might, I
will not be far, I promise that, and hope youll always know,
my spirit will be close to you wherever you may go. Youve
given me the best this world had to offer. Thank you for loving
me; you know I love you too; thats why its hard to say good-
bye and end this life with you.
