Sad of the Road
When I come to the end o f the road and the sun has setfo r me.
I w ant no rites in a gloom filled room why cry fo r a soul setfree!
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 we all must take and each must go along.
It's all a p a rt o f the Master's plan a step on the road home.
When you are lonely and sick o f heart go to the friends we know
A n d bury your sorrows in doing good deeds miss me - but let me go. ~ Anonymous ~
