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 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 me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you have each shown.
But for now it's time I traveled on alone.

So grieve a while for if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while that we must part
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."
