Milton Ivy

“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 the 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, near 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 evening,
When the sun paints the sky in the west.
Stand for a few moments beside me,
And remember only my best.
