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 bowed low.
Remember the times that we once shared,
Miss me...but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take,
And each of us goes alone.
When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends and family we know.
Bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me....but let me go.

The Rose Beyond the Wall

A rose once grew where all could see
Sheltered beside a garden wall
And as the days past swiftly by,
It spread it's branches straight and tall.

One day a beam of light shone through
A crevice that had opened wide,
The rose bent gently towards its warmth
Then passed beyond to the other side.

Now you who deeply feel its loss
Be comforted -- the rose blooms there.
It's beauty even greater now -
Nurtured by God's own loving care.
