I have so many things to see and do. You must not 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 each have shown. But now it is time I traveled on alone. So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust. Its only for a while that we must part. So bless the memories within your heart. I wont be far away for life goes on. , So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you cant see me or touch me, Ill be near And if you listen with your heart, you will hear, All of my love around you, soft and clear. And then, when you come this way alone, /"// greet you with a smile and a "WELCOME HOME". ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Daws Family is truly grateful to relatives, friends, and neighbors for their prayers, love, concern and support. May God continue to Bless You.
