“I've come to the end of my journey
and I traveled my last weary mile
Forget if you can, that I ever frowned
and remember only my smile
Forget unkind words I may 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 sometimes fell by the way
Remember I have fought some hard battles
And won ere the close of the day
Forget to grieve for my going
I would not have you sad for a day
I get to be with my daughter Ashley
And trust she will show me the way
So, in summer just gather some flowers
and remember the place where I lay
Come in the evening
when the sun sets in the west
Stand for a few moments beside me
and remember only my best.”
