Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I’m following paths God made for me. I took his hand I heard him call, Then turned, and bid farewell to all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to sing, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found my peace... at close of play. And if my parting left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened deep with sorrow, I wish you sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full I’ve savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don’t lengthen it now with grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wants me now. He set me free.
