IM FREE Dont grieve for me, for now Im free, Im following the path God has laid you see. I took His hand when I heard His 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 the peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joys, A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, O yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. Ive savoured much, good friends, good times, a loved ones touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Dont lengthen it now with undue grief, Life up your hearts, and peace to thee, God wanted me now. He set me free.
