To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me

When I'm gone, release me, let go

I have so many things to see and do

You mustn't 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 to me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you each have shown,

But now it's time I traveled on alone.

So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must,

Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

So bless the memories with your heart,

It's only for awhile that we must part.

I won't be far away for life goes on.

Though you can't see me 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 welcome you home.
