To Those I Love And To Those That Love Me
By Tonya Black

When I am gone release me, let me go,
I have so many things to do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy we had so many years.
I gave you my love, and you can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you have shown,
But now it's time for me to travel alone.
So grieve a while, 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 in your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on,
So if you can't hear 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 then when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and say,
"Welcome Home"

Dedicated to the loving memory of Hans Hinkle
He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.
