In memory: Ron Hayes

TO THOSE I LOVE

When I am gone, just release me,

let me go-so I can move into my afterglow.

You mustn’t tie me down with your tears;

let’s be happy that we had so many years.

I gave you 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 traveled on alone.

So greive for me a while, if grieve you must

then let your grief be comforted with trust.

It’s only for a while that we must part,

so bless the memories within your heart.

And then, when you must come this way alone

I’ll greet you with a smile and a “Welcome Home”
