When I Am Gone

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 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 is time I travel 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 those memories within 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 be 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 welcome you home.
