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 my smile.
Forget unkind words I may have spoken, Remember the good that I have done,
Forget that I ever had a heartache and remember I’ve had loads of fun.
Forget that I have stumped and blundered and sometimes 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 evening when the sun paints the sky in the west,
Stand for a few moments beside me and remember only my best.
2020
