TO THOSE I LOVE AND THOSE WHO LOVE ME
When I am gone, release me, let me go-
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave to you my love, You can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown.
But now it’s time I travel on alone.
So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted with trust.
It’s only for awhile 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’ll hear all of my love
around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must
come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and
“Welcome Home.”
