Grandmother, Grandmother
Wfe re so sad you had to
leave, but our
happy memories will deliver
us from grief
/ know you re in Heaven
now and that your soul
is free.
Written By
Pat Byrd (Granddaughter)
Miss Me!
When / come to the end of road and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-fdled 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 love that we once shared
Miss me - but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take,
and each must go alone.
Its all a part of the Masters plan, a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me - but let me go.
