pritchie Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I liked Becky's poem so I thought I would share the poem that my Mother liked and wanted read at her funeral. My Dad also kept a copy in his wallet before he died and I have that copy. Pamela ____________________________________________________________ TO THOSE I LOVE AND THOSE WHO LOVE ME(Author Unknown) 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 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 is time for me to travel on. So grieve a while for 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 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” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
