let me go. You musn’t tie
yourself to me with tears.
Just be happy that we had so
many years. I gave 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,
but now it’s time I traveled alone.
So grieve a while 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 won’t be far away, for life goes
on, so if you need me, call, and I
will come. Though you can’t see
or touch me, I’ll be near. And if
you listen with your heart, you’ll
hear all of my love around you,
soft and clear. And then, when
you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile, and
say “Welcome Home.”
