At her request…

Miss Me - But Let Me Go

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,

Remember the love that we once shared

Miss me - But let me go.

For this journey that we all must take

and each must go alone,

It's 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 the friends we know,

and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.

Make this several hours before serving for best results.

Servings:  4-6

¾ cup fresh lime juice (8-10 limes)

1 small onion, diced

2 green onions, chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

¼ cup diced celery

1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Slice the hearts of palm into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl.  Strain the lime juice and pour over the hearts of palm.  Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.  Refrigerate at least 2 hours for flavors to blend.  Season with a bit of sea salt and freshly ground pepper, if desired.
