I'M FREE
Don't grieve for me, for now I 'mfree, I'm following the path God /aidfor me. I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and /eft it all. I could not stqy another dqy,
To laugh, to love, to work, to pfqy. Tasks /eft undone must stqy that wqy, I'vefound thatpeace at the close ofthe dqy.
Ifnry parting has /eft a void, Then jiff it with rememberedjoy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ahyes, these things I too wi// miss. Be not burdened with times ofsorrow, I wishyou the sunshine oftomorrow. My Life's been full, I savoured much, Goodfn.ends, good times, a loved one's touch, Perhaps my time seemed a// too bn"ef, Don't lengthen it now with undue gnef.
Lzjt upyour heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set mefree.
