To Those I Love and Who Love Me; when I am gone, release me, and 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 together. I gave you my love, but now it is time I travel alone with no more pain and sorry.  So grieve a while for me if grieve you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust. 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 will be near.  And if you can listen with your heart, you’ll hear all of my love around you soft and clear.  Then when you must come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile and say, Welcome Home!

Beyond Life’s Gateway

There is an open gate at the end of the road, through which each must pass alone, And there is a light we cannot see, But the Father knows his own, Beyond this gate our loved ones Finds happiness and rest; And there is comfort in the thought That the Heavenly Father knows best.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside the still waters.  He restored my soul; he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.  Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for forever.  Psalms 2:3
