 Don't grieve for me, for now I ' m f r e e . 
I ' M FOLLOWING THE PATH GOD LAID FOR ME. 
I took H is hand when I heard him c a ll; 
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 n^ost stay that way; 
I FOUND THAT PLACE AT THE CLOSE OF DAY. IF MY PARTING HAS LEFT A VOID, 
HP 
THEN FILL IT WITH REMEMBERED jf lY . A FRIENDSHIP SHARED, A LAUGH, A KISS; OH YES, THESE THINGS, I TOO WILL MISS. B e NOT BURDENED WITH TIMES OF SORROW. I WISH YOU THE SUNSHINE OF TOMORROW. 
My L IF E ' S BEEN FULL, I SAVORED m u c h ; GOOD FRIENDS, GOOD TIMES, A LOVED DNES TOUCH. 
Perhaps my time seems all to b r ie f ; 
DON'T LENGTHEN IT NOW WITH UNDUE GRIEF. 
Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me f r e e .
