Poem by Debie:
When I am gone, release me.
Let me go, for I have too many things to see and do.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I will come.
To those I love and those who love me.
When I am gone, release me.
Let me go, for I have too many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears.
I gave to you my love, and my witness is God above.
You can only guess how much you gave me in happiness.
I think you for the love each have shown, but now its time to travel alone.
So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must;
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for a time that we must part, so cherish 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 with your heart, you’ll hear all my love around, soft and clear.
And when you must come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile
And say, “Welcome Home!”
