Until Then

We’ll meet again when this world ends,
but until then,
I’ll remember all your good years,
your bad and your lean years,
your laughter and your tears.
I’ll remember how you came through it all,
standing so tall, never complaining,
because you were too tough to fall.
I’ll remember how you always had time
for a friend, a smile and a helping hand.
You were a big, big-hearted woman.
Yes we’ll meet again when this world ends,
but until then,
I’ll remember all the funny things
you used to say and do
and all the wonderful times that we shared, too.
Yes I’ll remember from day to day,
and I just want to say
We’ll meet again when this world ends,
but until then,
thanks for being my friend.

When I Come To The End Of My Journey

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 a heartache
And remember I’ve had loads of fun.
Forget that I have 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 evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west,
Stand for a moment beside me
And remember only my best.
