When I Must Leave…
When I must leave you for a 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 the things the same…
Feed not your loneliness on empty days
But fill each working 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 will be waiting for you in the sky…
