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 live, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I’ve found my 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 time of sorrow;
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I’ve 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.
Lift up your heart and share with me;
God wanted me now - He set me free.
