You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears, be happy that we had so many beautiful 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 have each shown. But now it’s time I traveled on to my heavenly home. 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 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 my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you come to Jesus, I will greet you with a smile and say “Welcome Home!”
