"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 tears in a gloom filled room, why cry for a soul set free.
Miss me a little but not too long. 
 Remember the love we all once shared.  Miss me but let me go.
 This is a journey we all must take and each must go alone,
 for it is part of the master plan, a step on the road to home. 
 So when you are lonely and sick at heart,  bury your sorrow in doing good deeds.
Miss me but let me go. "     
                                        Evelyn
