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 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 that peace at the close of 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 shall miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I’ve savored much,

good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my times 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’s set me free.”
