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!
