Socorro Torres

for a 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!
