A Mother’s Farewell To Her ChildrenWhen I must leave you for a little while, Please do not grieve and shed wi ld tearsAnd hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely wi th a gallant smile;And for my sake and in my name live on and do all things the same,Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in usef ul ways,Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer And I in turn will comfort y ou and hold you near;And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky!
