I'm Free
Don't mourn for me, I'm free The struggle is finally finished My spirit's free, my body's at rest
Yet I am not diminished I've simply moved to that heavenly phase
Of God's almighty plan Having completed the trials oflife In heaven's peace in where I stand
Untouched by the illness' rage Grateful that the struggle is finally over That I've moved beyond such a difficult stage Now surrounded by my loved ones who've passed
Being joyfully reunited with them Watching over you with deepest love and affection
From the serenity and peacefound in heaven And I am gratefulfor a love that deepened As you patiently caredfor me
Love so strong.../ didn't think it could be expanded Yet it grew more tender' midst such suffering and grief

A million times we've needed you, A million times we've cried
If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.
If all the world were ours to give, We would give it, and more.
To see you coming down the steps, To hear your voice, to see your smile,
To sit and talk with you awhile. To see you in the same old way,
It would be our fondest day. A heart of gold stopped beating
Two smiling eyes closed to rest, God broke our hearts to prove us
He only takes the best.
With Love The Family
