TO THOSE I LOVE AND THOSE WHO LOVE ME

When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to do and see.
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 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 on alone.
So grieve a while,
for 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.
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, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile, and say-
"Welcome home!"
