I'M FREE

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.

I'm following the path God has laid, you see.

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.

Task left undone must stay that way,

I found that peace at the close 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 life's been full, I savored much,

good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seems all too brief,

Don't lenghthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and peace to thee,

God wants me now...He set me free!
