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 we had so many years.
I gave you my love; you can only guess
     How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown
     But now it's time I travel 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, 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
With all of my love around you soft and dear.
And then, when you must come this way alone.
I will greet you with a smile and a
      "WELCOME HOME"
