Don't grieve for me since 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 the peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joy. Friendship, love shared, a laugh, A kiss.. ah, yes these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much: Great family, good friends, good times, A loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief Don't lengthen it now with undo grief. Lift up your heart and share with me-- God wanted me; He set me free.
