Let Me Go (Monday Poem)

by Christina Rosetti
 
 
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.
 
 
(In honor and memory of my dear sister, Cathy Christine Shank, who completed her life. ALS is a cruel disease.)
