“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 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.
