I)m :Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God has 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 peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh yes, these things I, too, will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you sunshine of tomorrow. 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 hearts and share with me,
God wanted me now,
HE SET ME FREE!

"Angel"
Everyone has an angel in their life; a person they can truly count on. It may not always be evident, but they are there to care and to love with no restrictions.
That angel is the one you trust, the one who means the world to you, That you can speak your mind and heart to.
At first, we may not realize this presence in our life. What could have been an accident might have been destiny.
Angels become a part ofyou, a part ofyour life, seeing your heart and soul;
And though actions may not be so angelic, their intentions usually are. They don 't ask for anything in return, and f or that I 'm grateful.
Because for all that angel has done for me, I 'd forever be in debt. You always listened and cared and gave me a shoulder to cry on. ..
Angel, I love you.
