“All human life has its seasons, and no one’s personal chaos can be permanent: winter, after all does not last forever does it? There is summer, too, and spring, and though sometimes when branches stay dark and the earth cracks with ice, one thinks they will never come, that spring, that summer, but they do, and always."
T.Capote

To Those I Love and to Those Who Love Me

When I am gone, release me, let me go…
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears,
Be thankful for our many beautiful years,

I gave to you my love. You can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it’s time I traveled alone.

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for a time that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.

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’ll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear
All my love around you soft and clear.

And then when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile, and say
“Welcome home!”
