When I'm Gone - by Mrs. Lyman Hancock 
In memory of my baby bro'
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 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, 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 shade of evening 
When the sun paints the sky in the west 
Stand for a few moments beside me 
And remember only my best
