To Those I Loved and Those Who Loved Me

When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have done the very best that I could do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you all my love, you can only guess...
How much you gave me in happiness
I thank you all for the love
you each have shown,
But now it's time I travel on alone.
So grieve awhile, for 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 my love around you soft and clear.
And then at the end of your life's journey
When you must come this way alone,
I'll be there to greet you with a smile and to
"Welcome You Home"
