I've used this poem a couple of times and about to use it again for my friend who lost her mom yesterday. It's been used on memorial cards and I find it very appropriate and re-assuring to those left behind. I would want this for my family and friends to believe when I go.


Miss Me But Let Me Go
Submitted By: sebringirw


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 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.
