In Loving Memory
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 or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I’ve found my peace at the close of the day.
If 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 time of sorrow.
I wish you sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full. I’ve savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief.
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up you hearts and share with me.
God wanted me now, He set me free.
