Remember this my boys,

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 we 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.
