MISS ME - BUT LET ME GO........
I miss you......
My dear Mother died last week, and condolences seem to fall far short of their target. I have had a copy of this little poem for many years, and it has been sent to numerous friends, and on to their numerous friends when the occasion arose. I cannot remember where I came upon it, but it seems to always strike the right chord. Perhaps it's its brevity, perhaps its simplicity, but it is just the right verse for its purpose. I believe it was written by Mary Crosbie, but I can't find her name anywhere. 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 too long, And not with your head bent low. Remember the love that once we shared. Miss me - but let me go..... For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone. It's all a part of the master plan - A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart, Go the the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me - but LET ME GO..... MARY CROMBIE In Memory and Love, to my dear Mother, LOVE always, Sally |
