Please do not grieve and
shed wild tears or 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!
