"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, But in summer just gather some flowers And remember the place where I lay, And come in the shade of the evening when the sun paints the sky in the West, Stand for a few moments beside me And remember only my best."
