Miss Me But Let Me Go

by George R. Monseur

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 to long

and not with a head bowed low.

Remember the love that was once shared

Miss me but let me go.

For this is a journey we must all take

and each must go alone

It is all a part of the Master's plan

a step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart

go to friends we know

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds

Miss me but let me go.

Mr Monseur wrote this poem following his diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease in 1981.

Mr George Monseur died December 16th, 1984 at the age of 62..

We received very 'special' permission from Mr Monseur's son and family to reprint this poem...Thank You!

For my "Dad" Bill Moore

Moore Than Enough

Do you judge a man by the company he keeps?

By the stories he tells or where he sleeps?

Does it make him daring to love things fast?

Does it make him weak if he cries for the past?

Is he still a good father if his children get mad?

Do they understand his reasons,

Or does it make them sad?

Is he still a good husband if his partner cries?

Is their life ever finished if one of them dies?

To know a man briefly is to know just a part,

For a lifetime is held in the core of his heart.

And a road shortly traveled may be rocky and rough,

But a life lived so full is always Moore than Enough.

Bill was a breeder of Champion German Shorthaired Pointers, and a well known Field Trial Judge in the 1960's and 70's.  He also showed and bred Champion Paso Fino and Standardbred horses.  He lived life to the fullest.

All our wins are dedicated to his memory. 

We miss him every day.
