Im Free

Dont grieve for me, for now Im free,
Im following the path God 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 that peace at the close of the day,
If my parting has left a void.
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
All these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My lifes been full, Ive 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 set me free.
