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.”
