When I’m Gone

When I’ve come to the end of my journey
And I’ve traveled my last weary mile,
Just forget if you can, that I’ve ever frowned
And only remember 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.
