To everything there is a season,

And a time to every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die;

A time to plant, and a time to pluck

Upthat which is planted;

A time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break

Down, and a time to build up;

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to

Morn, and a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to ge5t and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep

Silence, and a time t speak;

A time to love and a time to hate; a time of war,

And a time of peace.

INTERMENT

Union Cemetery, Glencoe Oklahoma

When I’m Gone

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 only remember the smile.

Forget unkind words I have spoken;

Remember some good I have done.

Forge 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 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 day in the west.

Stand for a few moments beside me

And remember only my best.
