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 mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears.

Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you my love, and you can only guess,

How much you gave to me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you each have shown,

But now I must travel on alone.

So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must.

Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It's only for a time that we must part,

So treasure 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 we can't touch, I'll still be near,
and if you listen with your heart,

You'll hear, all my love around you, so soft and clear.

And then, when you come this way alone,

I'll greet you, smiling, with a
"Welcome Home."
