A Poem Title,'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 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 of heart
Go to the friends we know

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss Me--But Let me Go!
