When I Must Leave You
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!
