I want no rites in a gloom filled room. Why cry for a sole set free? Miss me a little, but not to long, and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love we once shared, Miss me but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone. Its all part of the Lords plan. A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart go to the friends we know and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me but let me go. Dad we love you, we miss you and we are always thinking of you. Rest easy dad soar with the angels. Until we meet again. We love You Dad.
