Grieving

To those I have loved and to those who loved 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 we had so many years,
I gave you my love you can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it’s time I travel on alone.
So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for awhile 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 or touch me I’ll be near,
And if you listen within your heart you’ll hear,
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and welcome you home.

When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see. If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today, While thinking of the many things we never got to say. I know how much you love […]
