TO THOSE LEFT BEHIND
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You musn't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy 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 shown,
but now its time I traveled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me if you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for awhile 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.
Then when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and
"Welcome Home".
