To those I love, and to those who love me

This piece of work was written--start to finish-- by my Dad, who unfortunately passed away years ago. Even in death he serves as my inspiration and his final words continue to motivate me. I want to accomplish all that I can to make my Dad, the rest of my family, and myself, as proud as possible. **** Thank you. I hope you like it.

Now that I have left you for a little while, Please go on bravely With a gallant smile, And for my sake and in my name, Live on and do all things the same-- Spend not your life in 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.
