?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 journey we all must take, and must reach 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.?
