MISS ME BUT LET ME GO

- Author Unknown

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.
