a poem for the grieving.....

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.

Your poem touched my heart, I lost my dad last June, and this is how I'd like to feel.

How beautiful. Thank you for posting it.

May I enquire who wrote the poem?

I managed to identify the poem. It's called 'When I am Gone' by Collius Norwood.
