To those I love and those who love me,

Now that I am 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 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 is time I traveled on alone.

So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must,

Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It is 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,

All my love around you soft and clear,

And when you must come this way alone,

I’ll greet you with a smile, and say

“Welcome Home.”
