David Hughes Willie, (1942)

DAVID HUGHES WILLIE

MISS ME
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 too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Oh! Remember the love that we shared,
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take,
And each must take it alone.
See?, it’s all a part of the Master’s plan,
A step in the road to home.
So when you are lonely and sick of heart,
Go to the friends that we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me but let me go.

In Loving Memory of
DAVID HUGHES WILLIE

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

A Precious one from us has gone.
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love had given.
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
