January 17, 1955 - August 24, 2004

when I'm gone

when i have 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 a heartache

and remember i'v had loads of fun.

forget that i have stumbled and blundered

and sometimes fell by the way.

remember that 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 moment beside me

and remember only my best.
