I was clearing out old papers when I came across the following poem attributed to "Anon" which

had been a part of a late elder sister's funeral ceremony.  It seems very appropriate to share it in

these difficult days.

....................................

Miss me but let me go

But when I come to the end of the road

And the sun has set for me

I want no riles in a gloom filled room

Why cry for a soul set free

Miss me a little but not for 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 we all must take

And each must go alone

It's all part of the master plan

A step on the road to home

When you are lonely and sick at heart

Go to the friends you know

Laugh at the things we used to do

Miss me but let me go.
