Beatrice M. Gonzales

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 musn't tie yourself to me with tears

Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave 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 awhile 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 or touch me I'll be near

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

"Welcome Home"
