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 bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me - but let me go.
Acknowledgements For much more than the words “Thank You” could ever express, the family of Clarienda Wiggins Palmer extends sincere expressions of gratitude for the many acts of kindness, cards, flowers and your prayers during the illness and passing of our love one. Your thoughtfulness will be a source of comfort in the days to come.
