When I Must Leave YouI must leave youfor a little while

Please do not grieveand shed wild tears.

And hug your sorrow to youthrough the years,

But start out bravelywith a gallant smile-

For my sake and in my namelive on and do all things the same,

Feed not your lonelinesson empty days,

But fill each waking hourin useful ways,

Reach out your handin comfort and in cheer

And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near:And never, neverbe afraid to die,

For I am waiting for you in the sky!Helen Steiner Rice
