A Celebration of Spirit ... 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.
I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the close of day.
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, I savored much; Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seems all too brief; Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and peace to thee
God wanted me now........ He set me free.
