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.

Lift up your heart and share with me

God wanted me now, He set me free.
