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.

I 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 a while 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."
