When I am gone, release me, let me go,
but be thankful for our years.
I gave you my love and you gave me yours,
but now itys time I travel alone.
So grieve me for a while, then let your grief be comforted by faith,
It's only for a while we must part, so treasure me within your heart.
Then when you come this way, I'll greet you
and say, Welcome Home.
This text is from the perspective of the recently departed, telling loved ones that they will meet again. Platte County High School premiered the work with love and heavy hearts for their fellow Platte County
family -- and with hope that this work gives comfort in knowing we will be welcomed by our loved ones again. |
