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.

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, Ive 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 hearts, and peace to thee---
God wanted me now, He set me free.
