D on't grievefo r me, fo r now I'm free I'm follow ing the path G od has laidform e.
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 Ifou n d peace at the end o f the day.
I f myparting has left a void Thenf i ll it with rememberedjoys. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Oh yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times o f sorrow, I wish you the sunshine o f tomorrow, My life's been fu ll, I savored much, Goodfriends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed a ll too b rief D on't lengthen it now with undue g rief L ift up your hearts, and share with me, G od wanted me NOW, He has set mefree
