WHEN I COME TO THE END OF LIFES 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 WE ONCE SHARED, MISS ME BUT LET ME GO. FOR THE JOURNEY WE ALL MUST TAKE, AND EACH MUST GO ALONE, IS ALL A PART OF THE MASTER’S PLAN, A STEP ON THE ROAD HOME.
