I AM NOT ALONE

I'm not alone--I walk with God
He is my strength
My power

He will not waver from my side-
In this--my saddest hour
for I know that He still loves me

And He knows what He has done

But He asks not my permission--
When he calls His children Home!

WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU

When 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!
