Lily Lacson

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 happy that we had so many years I gave you love,

You can only guess, how much you gave me in happiness.

I thank you for the love each have shown,

But for now it is time I traveled alone.

So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must,

Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It is only for a while that we must part

so bless those memories within your heart.

I will not be far away, for life goes on.

so if you need me, call and I will come

Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near

And if you listen to your heart, you will hear

All of my love around you, soft and clear.

Then when you must come this way alone,

I will greet you with a smile and “Welcome Home”
