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 gloom-filled rooms, 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 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 busy your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me – but let me go. “When caring truly matters, DYER cares”
