I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, now I’m free.
I am following the path God laid for me.
I took His Hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh to love, to work or play…
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I found the peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss-
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish to you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much-
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and peace to thee
God wanted me now, He set me free!!!
