When loved ones are lost

Today I lost a dear friend... He was barely 20 years old and the victim of senseless violence.

Sometimes we need comforting words to remind us that they have left us for a better place..

These words may sound familliar, but they will not fail in the quest for comfort

When I come to the end of the day,
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 you 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.
It's all part of the maker's 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.
