“When I’m Gone”

“When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile.  Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned and remember only the smile.  Forget unkind words I have spoken; Remember some good I have done.  Forget that I ever had heartache and remember I’ve has loads of fun.  Forget that I’ve stumbled and blundered and some times fell by the way.  Remember I have fought some hard battles and won, ere the close of the day.  Then forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for a day.  But in summer just gather some flowers and remember the place where I lay.  And come in the shade of evening when the sun paints the sky in the West.  Stand for a few moments beside me and remember only my best”
