To Those I Love
When I am gone, just release me, Let me go- so I can move into my Afterglow. You mustn't tie me down
With your tears; let's be happy That we had so many years. I gave you
My love, you can only guess How much you gave me in happiness. 1 thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve for me awhile, if grieve
You must, then let your grief be comforted With trust. It's only for awhile that
We must part, so bless the memories within Your heart. And then, when you must Come this way alone, I'll greet you with A smile and a "Welcome Home."
