When I am gone, just release me,
let me go – so I can move into my
afterglow. You mustn’t tie me down
with your tears; let’s 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 traveled alone.
So grieve for me awhile, if grieve
You must, then let your grief be comforted
with trust. It’s only for a while that
we must part, so bless the memories within
your heart. And then, when you must
come this way alone, I’ll greet you with
a smile and a “Welcome Home.”
