When I come to the end of my journey, and the sun has set for me,

I want no tears 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 hung low.

Remember the laughter 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 a part of the Father’s plan, a step on our grand road home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart go to the friends we know.

And bury your sorrows by doing a kindness.  Miss me, but let me go.

Love Mom
