To Those I Love

And Those Who Love 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 thankful for our

Many beautiful 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 its

time I traveled up alone.

So grieve awhile for me if you 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 wont 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 with 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 say——

WELCOME HOME!

    Doris was a dear friend. Rodney and I enjoyed spending time together with Doris and Bill. Meals along with lots of laughter were shared on many occasions. Doris was a very special lady.
