Memory

When I Must Leave You

Of

When I must leave you for a little while,

Please do not grieve and shed many tears,
And hug your sorrow to you through the years.
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in Jesus name

Live on and do all things the same.

Feed not your loneliness on empty days,

Raymond Hammond
August 19, 1934 - August 29, 2016

But fill each waking hour in useful ways.

Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer,
And I turn will comfort you and hold you near.
And never, never be afraid to die,
For on resurrection morning,

Ill be waiting for you in the sky.
