Father�s Promise
For those I Love and for those who Love me - -
When I am gone, Release me - - - let me go.
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 Love and you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the Love we each have shown
But now it�s time I travel alone.
So grieve for awhile for me, if you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It�s only for a while that we must part
So bless now the memories within your heart.
I won�t be far away, for life does go on.
So, if you need me - - - call and I will come,
Though you cannot see me, or touch me - - - I�ll be near.
And if you listen with your heart - - - you will hear,
All my Love around you - - - soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and welcome you home.

Pace yourself lovingly and
remember - - -
This pain won�t last forever!
