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 no too long,
and not with your had 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.
Itʼs all a part of the Masterʼs plan,
a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
go to the friends we know.
Bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me but let me go.

Miss Me But Let Me Go
Death Is A Door
Death is only an old door
Set in a garden wall;
On gentle hinges it gives, at dusk
When the thrushes call.
Set in a garden wall;
On gentle hinges it gives, at dusk
When the thrushes call.
Along the linted are green leaves,
Beyond the light lies still;
Very willing and weary feet
Go over that sill.
There is nothing to trouble any heart;
Nothing to hurt at all.
Death is only a quiet door
In an old wall.
–Nancy Byrd Turner
The Broken Chain
I little knew that morning.
God was going to call your name,
In life I loved you dearly,
in death I do the same.
It broke my heart to loose you,
you did not go alone,
for part of me went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left me beautiful memories
your love is still my guide,
and though we cannot see you,
you're always at my side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more, day by day,
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that I once had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be said.
–Christina Georgina Rossetti
