I Am Free
Don 't grieve for me; for 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 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, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with time of sorrow,
I wish for 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.
