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. 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 much go alone. Its all a part of the Masters 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. MacKenzie Funeral Home, Stonewall in care of arrangements.
