IM FREE
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 time 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.
