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. 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’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 hearts
and share with me. God wanted me now; He set me free.
