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 we all must take

And each must go alone

It is 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.


Arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.
