To those I love and those who love me
When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and d o. You must not tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so ma ny years. I gave you my love, you can only guess, How much you ga ve to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you have shown, But now it 's time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while for me if grieve you mus t, Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a while th at we must part, So bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far a way, for life goes on, So if you need me, call and I will come. Though y ou can't see or touch me, I'll be near, And if you listen with you hear t, you'll hear, All of my love around you soft and clear. And then, when y ou must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile, and say welco me home. "Love You All"
