To Those I Love and

Those Who Loved Me

When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You must not tie yourself to me with tears, be thankful for our many years.

I gave you my love, you can only guess, how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you have shown, but now it's time I traveled on...alone.

So grieve for me awhile if you must; then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a time that we must part; so bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away, for life goes on, so if you need me, call and I will come; though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near; and if you listen with your heart you will hear, all my love around you, soft and clear.

And then when you must come this way alone; I'll greet you with a smile and say, "Welcome Home."
