"I'M FREE"
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God laidfor 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 ofday. Ifmy parting has left a void,
then jill it with rememberingjoy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times ofsorrow, I wish you the sunshine oftomorrow. My life's been full, I've 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 heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.
