"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’ve 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,

Ah yes, these things I too will miss

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,

I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow

My life’s been full, I’ve savored much,

Good friends, good times, my loved one’s touch

If my time seemed all too brief,

Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief

Lift up your heart, rejoice with me,

God wanted me now, He set me free.

Margaret L. Winn Epitaph

What impression does she give to others?

She is sophisticated, educator, well-traveled, put on a pedestal, stuck-up, better-than-you-are.

What is she really like?

Will always lend an ear to listen to your troubles.

Will always lend and ear to listen to your troubles.

Loves to be a friend and will always lend a helping hand in anything.

Has always handled leadership and responsibility well.

She tries not to tell a lie, but never ask her for the truth because she will tell all.

If you do something wrong when you know better, she will tell you that you are wrong.

If she sees you trying to do what is right and to improve yourself, she will help you build up your own self-confidence.

She firmly believes that anyone can do anything they want to if they want it bad enough.

She does not believe in the words can-not.

Who is she?

Raised in the country, loves the wind, the trees and flowers, the blue sky, the freshness.

She loves and knows that she is loved, but yet she is not demonstrative in her emotions to others.

While her feelings run deep and true, she gives the impression that you cannot hurt her, when she is very easily hurt but you will never know it by talking to her.

She is well-known for her smile and happy go-lucky attitude.

She wants people to recognize her for the kind of person that she really is, not the way that people see her.
