IN MEMORY

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 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!
