To My Loved Ones
No reason for sorrow, no reason to cry.
Look toward tomorrow and I'll tell you why
my memories of you and yours of me
are filled with love and laughter forever.
You'll see no reason to worry,
nor question God as to why you have lost me.
No reason to say goodbye.
It's time for my journey home,
a beautiful and peaceful trip
that I must make alone.
So just be strong and keep a smile,
we'll only be apart for a little while.
The love I've known is a very special part,
the love I've shown came straight from the heart.
I leave you now to go on my way
to a wonderful place
where we'll be together someday.
No reason at all as you can see.
I'm with my Lord. He'll take care of me.
