Task left undone must stay that way The way they were at the start of the day If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A closeness shared a laugh, a kiss, ah yea, those things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow My life's been full/ savored much
great friends, good times and loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don 't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your head and let go of me... God wanted me now He set me free!!
