To Those I love and Those Who Loved Me
When I am gone, release me, and let me go,
I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourselves to me with tears,
Be Happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my Love but 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 awhile for me, if you must.
Then let grief be comforted by Trust.
It’s only for a short time that we must part,
So Bless the Memories with your Heart.
I won’t be far away, but 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, With all of my Love around you soft and clear
And when this way you must come,
I’ll greet you with a smile and a
“Welcome Home.”
