"When I'm Gone"

When I 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 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.
