To my loved ones: "Miss Me - But Let Me Go" When I come to the end of my 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 at heart go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds Miss me - but let me go. ~I love you all.~ From July 18th, 2005 issue of Chronicle Herald in Halifax.
