For those grieving

When I am gone, just release me, let me go.... so I can move into my afterglow.  You mustn't tie me down with your tears; let's be happy that we had so many years.  I gave you my love, you can only guess how much you gave me in happiness.  I thank you for love you have shown, but now it's time I traveled on alone.  So grieve for me awhile, if grieve you must, then let your grief be comforted with trust.   It's only for a while that we must part, so bless the memories within your heart.   And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and a Welcome Home.
