Miss Me – But Let Me Go

I have 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 all the love that we once shared,

Miss Me – but let me go.

For this journey that we all must take

And each must go alone.

It’s all part of the Master’s Plan

A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart,

Go to family and friends we know

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.

Miss Me – but let me go.  Xoxo
