PV29 To Those I love & Those Who Love Me

When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears
Be thankful for our many beautiful years.

I gave you my love. You can only guess
How much you gave me happiness
I thank you for your love you each have shown
But now it’s time for me to travel on alone.

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It’s only for a time 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”
