To Those I Love
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 so many years.
I gave you my love. You can only quess how much you gave me in happiness. But now it's time I travel alone.
So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for awhile that 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.
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 clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone I'll great you with a smile and
"Welcome Home"
