Goodbye Mum

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.


Mums funeral was today. This is the poem that is not by Christina Rossetti , despite what it says on the Internet.  I think we gave her a good send-off.   Four generations were represented at the family get-together afterwards  .  The Circle of Life.
