OLLIE DEAN (THREATS) CARTER

WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU FOR A WHILE

When I must leave you 
for a little while 
Please do not grieve 
and shed wild tears 
and hug your sorrow 
to you through the years 

Start out bravely 
with 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 useful ways 

Reach out your hand 
in comfort and cheer, 
and I in turn 
will comfort you 
and hold you near 

Never, never 
be afraid to die, 
For I am waiting 
for you in the sky.
