To Those Whom 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 must not tie yourself to me with tears Be happy that I have 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 each have shown But now it is time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust It is only for a while that we must part So bless the memories in your heart. I will not be far away, for life goes on So if you need me, call and I will come Though you cannot see or touch me, I will ne near And if you listen with your heart, you will hear All of my love around you, soft and clear. Then, when you must come this way alone, I will greet you with a smile and a 'Welcome Home' By Mary Alice Ramish
