I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God has laid you see. 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, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace 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 Oh yes, these 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 seemed all too brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue
grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee. God wanted me now, He set
me free.
