D o n 't grieve for me, for now I 'm free, I 'm following the path G od has laid for me. I took His hand whev I heard Him call, I turned my hack and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, tu love, to work or play, tasks left undone must sum1that way. 1 found peace at the end o f the 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 1 too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow, my life's been full, I savored much, good friends, good times, a loved ones 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 N O W , He has set me free.
