WHEN I'M GONE
BY MRS. LYMAN HANCOCK
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 had loads of fun
Forget that I've stumbled 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 shade of evening when the sun paints the sky in the west stand for a few moments beside me and remember only my best
