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 cries 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 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.
Michael’s wishes were to be cremated and scattered at sea alongside his mother.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in his honor to The American Cancer Society… Huh!!!!
