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 must not tie yourself to me in tears. Be happy that we had so many years together. I gave you love; you can only guess how much you gave me in happiness. I thank You for the love you have shown me but now it’s time I must travel on alone, so grieve for me a short while , if grieve you must , then let your grief be comforted by trust, It is only for a little 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 me or touch me, I’ll be near and if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear all my love around, you.
