to those I love

When I am gone, release me,

I have so many things to see and do,

You musn鈥檛 tie yourself to me with tears,

Be happy that we had those precious years.

I gave to you my Heart and Love, you can only guess,

How much you gave to me in 鈥淗appiness鈥�.

I thank you for the love you each have shown,

But now it鈥檚 time I traveled on alone.

So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must;

Then let your grief be comforted by 鈥淭rust鈥�

It鈥檚 only for a while we must part,

So bless the memories within your heart.

I won鈥檛 be far away, for life goes on;

So if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can鈥檛 see me or touch me, Ill be near,

And if you listen with your heart, you鈥檒l hear;

All of my caring love around you strong and clear;

And then, when you must come this way alone. . .

I鈥檒l greet you with a smile and say, 鈥淲ELCOME HOME鈥�.
