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 some years.
I gave
you my love. You can only guess
How much
you gave to me in happiness.
I thank
you for the love you each have shown,
But now
it’s time I traveled alone.
So grieve
a while for me if grieve you must;
Then let
your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only
for a while that we must part.
So keep
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 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 dear.
And then
when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet
you with a smile and say,
"Welcome
Home"
