Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid
for me. I took His hand when I heard him call; I turned my hack and
left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or
play. Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found that place at the
close of day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered
joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; oh yes, these things, I 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 seems all to brief; don't
lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with
me, God wanted me now, He set me free.
