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 –

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 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.
