''I'm Pree"
Don'tgrievefor mefor now I'mfree. I'mfollowing the path God laidfor me. I took his hand when I heard him calL I turned my back and left it alL I could not stqy another dqy, to laugh, to love, to work, orplqy.
Tasks left undone must stqy that wqy, I've found thatpeace at the close of dqy.
If myparting has left a void, Then jill it with rememberedjoy.
A fn.endship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ahyes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow: I wishyou the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's beenfull I've savored much, good times, goodfriends, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to bnef, don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift upyour heart and share with me, God wanted me now, he set mefree. Author: Unknown
