In Loving Memory of Benjamin Lester Odell
October 21, 1941 ~ January 8, 2004



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 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.
It's all a 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 knew.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me, but let me go.
