To those I love and those who love me-
When I'm gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears,
Be thankful for our happy years.
I gave you my love. You can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you have always shown,
But now it's time I traveled on.
So grieve for a while, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a time we must part.
So bless our memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on-
So if you need me, call- I will come.
Though you cannot touch me, I'll be near.
And if you'll listen with your heart,
You'll hear my love all around you loud and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and say,
Welcome Home.
