"MISS ME - BUT LET ME GO"

When I come to the end of my 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 plan

A step on the road to home

When you are lonely and sick at heart

Go to the friends we know

And busy your sorrow in doing good deeds...

MISS ME BUT LET ME GO!!!
