In Memory Of Jay
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 the love you each have shown,
but now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while, If grieve you must,
then let your grieve 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 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."
