I’M FREE

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.

I’m following the path God laid for me.

I took his hand when I heard his call,

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work, to play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way,

I’ve found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,

then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,

I wish 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 share with me,

God wanted me now, He set me free.

Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly

in a chair. Perhaps you sent those beautiful flowers

that we saw sitting there. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could saw. Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day.
