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 time together.

I gave you much you gave me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you 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."
