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 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 all must for alone.
It's all a part of the master plan
A step on the road to home.
Miss me but let me go.

You are not forgotten, dear one,
Nor will you ever be
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
