When I am gone, release me, and 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.
I gave to you my love, you can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness,
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
Now it is time i travelled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me 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.
I will not be far away, for life goes on,
So if you need me, call and i will come,
Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near;
And if you listen with your heart,
You will hear all my love around you, soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and say
“"WELCOME HOME"
