Cremation has taken place.MISS ME, BUT LET ME GOWhen I come to the end of the roadAnd the sun has set for meI want no rites in a gloom filled roomWhy cry for a soul set free?Miss me a little-but not too longAnd not with your head bowed low.Remember the love that we once sharedMiss me-but let me go.For this is a journey we all must takeAnd each must go alone.It's all part of the Master's planA step on the road to home.When you are lonely and sick at heartGo to the friends we knowAnd bury your sorrows in doing good deedsMiss me-but let me go.Author Unknown
