and bnght and sunf!Y dqys.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve
to dry before the sun Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

Don't grieve for me, for now I 'mfree; I'm following the path God laidfor me. I took his hand when I heard his t:all.
I turned my back and left it all.
I ~vuld not stqy another dqy To laugh, to love, to work, to plqy. Tasks left undone must stqy that wqy; I've found thatpeace at the dose ofthe dqy.
Ifmy parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered)f!Y. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kisJ~ AhyeJ~ these things I, too, will miss.
Be not burdened with times ofsorrow; I wishyou the sunshine oftomorrow. My life's been full, I savoured much: Goodfriends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; Don't lengthen it now with undue gn'ej.
Lzjt upyour heart and share with me.
God wanted me now; He set mefree.
