"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 while--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’s plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss Me --But Let Me Go!
