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 the 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!

Comforted my Mom when she lost her Dad.

Take Care Jolly!!!!!
