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 only remember the smile.  Forget unkind words I have spoken, remember some good I have done. Forget that I ever had heartache and remember I’ve had loads of fun. Forget that I stumbled and blundered and sometimes fell by the way.  Remember I’ve 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.
