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 day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy, A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Oh yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish 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 heart and share with me. God wanted me now, He set me free. Papa, you will be sadly missed by us all, and in our hearts forever. We Love you.
