Miss Me But Let Me Go by Christina Rossetti - Funeral Poem
0:00 - Introduction
0:15 - The Poem
A wonderfully succinct and meaningful poem, expressing the idea that we can only move on from a loss once we acknowledge it has happened.
This seems so modern and contemporary - it seems hard to understand it was written around 150 years ago!
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.
