Don't Grieve fo r Me, fo r now Pm fr e e Pm follow ing the path God laid fo r me. I took His hand when I heard Him Call
I turned my baek and left it all. I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play. Task left undone m ust stay that way. I found that place at the close o f day.
I f my passing has left a void Then fill it with remembered joy. Afriendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Be not burden with times o f sorrow. I wish you the sunshine o f tomorrow. M y life's been full, I savored much Goodf iends, Good times, a love one's tou ch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; Don't lengthen it now with undue g r ief. Lift up you r heart and share with me.
God wanted me know, He set me free.
