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 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.
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.
(From “When I Am Gone” by Mrs. Lyman Hancock)
