I have so many things to see and do. You must not tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you all my love, you can only guess how much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now it’s time I travel alone. So, grieve a while for me, if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust. Its only for a while we must part, so bless the memories that lie within your heart, for I won't be far away. If you can't see me or touch me, I’ll still be near. Just listen with your heart and you'll hear all of my love around you soft and clear.
