To Those I Love And Those Who Loved Me When I am gone, release me, let me go, I have so many things to see and do, You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years. I gave to you my love, you can only guess, How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for all the love you each have shown, But now it's time I travelled on alone. So grieve for a while for me if grieve you must; Than let your grief be comforted by trust, It's only for a while 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. And then when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say Welcome home . Author Unknown KORBAN FUNERAL CHAPEL 956-2193
