D on't grieve fo r me, fo r now I 'm free. I 'm follow ing the p a th God la id fo r me. I took H is h and when I heard H im call,
I tu rned m y back a n d le ft it all. I could n o t stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone m u st stay th a t way, I fo u n d th a t place a t the close o fday.
I f m y p a rtin g has le ft a void, Then fill it w ith rem embered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; A h yes, these things I too w ill miss. Be n o t burdened w ith tim es o fsorrow, I wish you the sunshine o f tomorrow. M y life's been fu ll, I savored m uch, Goodfrien d s, good tim es, a loved ones touch. Perhaps m y tim e seemed a ll too brief. D on't lengthen it now w ith undue g rief. L ift up your heart, and share w ith me, God w anted m e N O W , H e set m e free.
