Miss Me... but 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 too long,

and not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that was 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 a part of the master’s plan,

a step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart,

go to the friends we know.

Bear your sorrow in good deeds.

Miss me, but let me go.....

A Mother's Prayer

When a child is apart,

even for a little while,

a mother says a prayer.

She asks the Lord to protect…

to be where she cannot be,

to go where she cannot go.

In Him she places her trust,

for He sees and He knows.

Though how your heart must break,

parted for now from your little one,

know that the Lord keeps your child safe,

with Him, where we all belong.

He will keep your child in a loving embrace,

just as He keeps you, a daughter, too.

That is His answer to a mother’s prayer,

that is His love --

is forever and everywhere...
