When I am gone,release me ,let me go,
I have so many things to see and do,
You musn't tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love,you can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness,
I thank you for the love you have shown,
But now its time I travelled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust,
Its only for a while that we must part,
So bless the memories with your heart.
I won't be far away,for life goes on,
So if you need me,call me 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 of my love around you soft and clear,
And then,when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and welcome you home.

Iris, thank you so much for posting this. When my mother died last year she left a book of poems that she had collected with this one marked for our attention after her death. It was read out at her funeral, and I am so glad to have been reminded of it tonight.
