A Poem For Marilyn
When I come to the end of the day
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in the 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 we once shared-
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the plan,
A step on the road to Home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know and bury your sorrows
In doing good deeds-
Miss me, but let me go.
