Don't
grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm 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 place at
the close of day.
If my parting has 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 with
times of sorrow
I wish you the
sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I
savored much;
Good friends, good
times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems
all to brief;
Don't lengthen it now
with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and
share with me,
God wanted me now, He
set me free.
