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 on alone.So grieve for me a while if grieve you must,It's only a while that we must part,To 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"
