Funeral Poem : 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.
Betty Miller
Edit:
There's also response poem to this by Susan Miller entitled "I’ll always miss you but I’ve let you go".

Thank you for this poem. It was just read at my Brother's funeral on Monday, 8/22/11 and was very comforting.
Miss me...
I read the poem at my dad's funeral. I have a framed copy over my desk with his picture. It reminds me that he would not want me to go around mourning him but carry on with living...
