In Memory Of

"P m Free"
D on't grieve fo r me, fo r now P m free P m follow ing the p a th God has laid, you see
I took H is hand when I heard H is call 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 m ust stay th a t way; I fo u n d the peace a t the close o f the day.
I f my p a rtin g has left a void Then fill it w ith remembered joys, A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Oh yes, these things I too w ill miss.
Be not 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 Goodfriends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps, my tim e seemed all too b rief D on't lengthen it now w ith undue g r ie f
L ift up your hearts and peace to thee God w anted me now, H e set me free.

Life is reah- Life is earnest - and thegrave is not it'sgoah., fo r such words, myfriends, were never spoken of the souf!

"The Lord is my shepherd'; I shall not want. H e maketh me lie down in green pastures: H e leadeth
, me beside the still waters. H e restoreth my soul: H e leadeth me in the paths o f righteousnessfo r His
nam e's sake. Tea though I walk through the valley o f the shadow o f death, I willfe a r no evil: fo r thou art with me; thy rod and thy sta ff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence o f mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and
mercy shallfollow me all the days o f my life: and I will dwell in the house o f the Lord forever."
