Fill not your heart with pain and sorrow,

But remember me in every tomorrow...

Remember the joy, the laughter,

the smiles,

I've only gone to rest a little while.

Although my leaving

causes pain and grief

My going has eased my hurt

And given me relief.

So dry your eyes and remember me,

Not as I am now, but as I used to be.

Because I wi11 remember you all

And look on with a smile.

understand in your hearts

I've only gone to rest a little while.

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 a gloom filled room

Why cry for a soul set free!

Miss me a little, but not for long,

And not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love we once shared,

Miss me, but let me go!

For this a journey 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 of heart

Go to the friends we know,

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,

Miss me, but let me go.
