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 thankful for our beautiful years.

I gave you my Love. You can only guess

How much you gave to me in happiness.

I thank you for the Love each have shown,

And please don't worry, I'm not alone.

So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must,

The let your grief be comforted by trust.

It's only for a time 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.

Tho' you can't see me or touch me, I'll be

near. And if you listen with your heart,

you'll hear. All my Love around you soft

and clear.

An then, when you must come this way

alone, I'll greet you with a smile, and say-

"Welcome Home!"
