"Remember Me This Way"
Now I've come to the end of my journey
And travelled my very last mile,
Just forget if you can that I ever frowned
And remember only my smile.
Forget unkind words I have spoken,
But remember the 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 I fell by the way.
Remember I've fought some hard battles
And won at the end of the day.
Then forget to grieve for my parting,
I would not want you sad or to cry.
But in summer just gather some flowers
And remember the place where I lie.
Then come in the stillness of evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west.
Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best.
Paul loved to express himself in verse. I am sure that he would agree with the sentiments of this poem which are so appropriate for Paul. An abridged version of this poem is inscribed on Paul's beautiful memorial stone.
