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;

Wy cry for a soul set free?

Miss me... but not too long,

And not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that was 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 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.
