Miss Me But Let Me Go

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".

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...
