(Psalm 121: 1-2)
A MOTHER’S FAREWELL TO HER CHILDRENWhen I must leave you for a little while, Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years But start out bravely with a gallant smile; And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all things the same,Feed not your loneliness on empty days
But fill each waking hour in useful ways
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
And I in 'turn will comfort you and
hold you near.
And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting for you in the sky.
