I AM FREE

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free.
I’m following the path GOD has laid for me you see.
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.

If my parting has left a void.
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Oh yes, these things I will to miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much.
Good family and friends, goodtimes,
a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief.
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift your hearts with peace to thee.
God wanted me now; he set me FREE
