Let me go

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 not for long,
And not with your head bowed low;
Remember the love that once we 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 we know.
Laugh at all the things we used to do;
Miss me, but let me go.

Christina Rossetti
