Dont grieve for me, for now Im free, Im following the path God has
laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him 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 must stay that way, I found peace at the end
of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered
joys. 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 lifes been full, I savored much, good friends, good times,
a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, dont lengthen
it now with undue grief, lift up your hearts, and share with me, God
wanted me NOW, He has set me free.
