When I Must Leave

When i must leave you

For a little while

Please do not grieve for me

And shed wild tears

And hug your sorrow to you through the years

But start out bravely and 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!

 

Life Of One We Love

The life of one we love

is never lost.

Its influence goes on through

All the lives it ever touched.
