To Those I Love and Those Who Loved Me  

Now 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 happy that we had so many 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 each have shown 
But now it’s time I travelled 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 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 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 travel this way alone
I’ll greet you with a smile and say “Welcome Home”
