If I should go before you do, If I depart ahead of you, If I should sleep and not awake, I pray your dear heart would not ache. If you call my name and I answer not, If you seek my face, and I don't respond, If you long for me, and I appear not, I pray you find comfort in this thought. I may be gone but not forever, One day again, we'll be together. Live your life with your usual zeal, Face each day with renewed will. For we meet to part and we part to meet. Things can change in a heartbeat. Do not therefore be downcast. For one day we'll be re-united at last. If I should go before you do, Live the life still ahead of you. Why should life stop because I am gone. Life is for living, and you must carry on. Strengthen yourself, my precious one. We'll meet again, one blessed morn.
