When loved ones have to part
To help us feel we are with them still
And soothe a grieving heart
They span the years and warm our lives
Our memories build a special bridge
And bring us peace of mind.

I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch,
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

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've 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 have shown,
But now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me if grieve you must;
Then let your grief 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 and 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 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.”
