When I'm Gone

When I come to the end

of my journey

and 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 have 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 spring

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

I Miss You Mammam
