I'M FREE

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 one's touch

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Life up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now, He set me free!
