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 for 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
