Don tgriemfor me for now I am free, I m following the path Qodhas [aidyou see.
I took^ y-fis hand when I heard Jfis call, I turned my back^. and left it all.
I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work^or play. Tas^s [eft undone must stay that way,
Ifoundpeace at the close of day
If my parting has [eft a void, Then fill it wi& igmemBeredjoys. %.friendship smfedtfa laugh, a kiss, Oh yes, these things I too wi[[ miss. Be not Burdened ivith times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My lifesheen full, I savored much; (joodfriends,good times, a loved one s touch.

Lift up your heart andpeace to thee, od wanted me now, !He set me free.
