"Miss Me But Let Me Go"
When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, I want no rites
in a gloom filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little - but not
too long and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me - but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take and each
must go alone. It’s all a part of the Master’s plan a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart go to the friends we know and bury your
sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me - but let me go. (Anonymous)
